[Tex/LaTex] Pagebreak within the List of Figures

page-breakingtable of contents

How can I have a page break manually inserted into the list of figures (\listoffigures)? I need a page break after a certain line/image-caption.

Consider MWE:

\documentclass[14pt, a4paper]{extreport}
\usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=2.5cm, top=3cm, bottom=3cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[toc,page]{appendix}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}
\tableofcontents{}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Table of Contents}
\newpage
%%------------List of Figures----------------------
\listoffigures{}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}

\chapter{someCH}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
   \centering
      \includegraphics[height=8cm]{example-image-b}
\caption{bb}
\end{figure}

\part*{Test}
\markboth{}{}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
   \centering
      \includegraphics[height=8cm]{example-image-b}
\caption{name}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
   \centering
      \includegraphics[height=8cm]{example-image-b}
\caption{bbb}
\end{figure}
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\pagebreak}
\appendix
\chapter{chapt}\label{a.b}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
   \centering
      \includegraphics[height=8cm]{example-image-b}
\caption{name}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Best Answer

you need to add the extra line with the page break after the pages on to which the other floats had floated (or add it within the float) placing it in the first appendix is simplest here

\documentclass[14pt, a4paper]{extreport}
\usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=2.5cm, top=3cm, bottom=3cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[toc,page]{appendix}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}
\tableofcontents{}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Table of Contents}
\newpage
%%------------List of Figures----------------------
\listoffigures{}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}

\chapter{someCH}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
   \centering
      \includegraphics[height=8cm]{example-image-b}
\caption{bb}
\end{figure}

\part*{Test}
\markboth{}{}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
   \centering
      \includegraphics[height=8cm]{example-image-b}
\caption{name}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
   \centering
      \includegraphics[height=8cm]{example-image-b}
\caption{bbb}
\end{figure}



\appendix
\chapter{chapt}\label{a.b}
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\pagebreak}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
   \centering
      \includegraphics[height=8cm]{example-image-b}
\caption{name}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Tocloft and List of Figures: Get rid of title and begin right at the top

Instead of calling \listoffigures, use

\makeatletter
\@starttoc{lof}% Print List of Figures
\makeatother

directly, or remove the header construction suggested by tocloft:

{\makeatletter
\let\@cftmakeloftitle\relax
\listoffigures% Print List of Figures
\makeatother}

The latter (perhaps preferred) solution stems from the definition if \listoffigures in tocloft.sty (note the \@cftmakeloftitle that is not needed, since you're providing your own):

\renewcommand{\listoffigures}{%
  \@cfttocstart
  \par
  \begingroup
    \parindent\z@ \parskip\cftparskip
    \@cftmakeloftitle
    \if@cfttocbibind
      \@cftdobiblof
    \fi
    \@starttoc{lof}%
  \endgroup
  \@cfttocfinish}
\fi

[Tex/LaTex] Numbering the list of figures in the table of contents

This can be done adding the following lines to your preamble:

\renewcommand{\listoffigures}{\begingroup
\tocsection
\tocfile{\listfigurename}{lof}
\endgroup}

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[nottoc,numbib]{tocbibind}

\renewcommand{\listoffigures}{\begingroup
\tocsection
\tocfile{\listfigurename}{lof}
\endgroup}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\newpage

\listoffigures
\newpage

\section{test}

\end{document}

Output (ToC):

EDIT

If you are also using tocloft, you have to inform tocloft that you want to use your custom titles by passing the option titles when loading it:

\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}
