[Tex/LaTex] Remove chapter number from minitoc

minitoc

I'm using minitoc with a book class. At each chapter I print a minitoc using the minitoc package.

Is there any way to print it without the chapter number at each line. Something like

Chapter 2

minitoc :

section one …..

section two …..

instead of :

2.1. section one …..

2.2. section two …..

I couldn't find the right command to redefine which customize the \numberline part on the mtc files!

MWE:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{minitoc}

\begin{document}
\dominitoc
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Introduction}
\chapter{chapter two}
    \minitoc
    \section{section one}
    \section{section two}
    \section{section three}

\end{document}

enter image description here

EDIT :

I'm not sure but it is some thing related to this macro. I don't figure how to change the value of #2 :

\def\MTC@contentsline#1#2#3#4{%
  \gdef\themtc{\arabic{mtc}}%
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\chapter
    \stepcounter{mtc}%
    \if@mtc@longext@%
      \mtcPackageInfo[I0033]{minitoc}%
         {Writing\space\jobname.mtc\themtc\@gobble}%
      \def\mtcname{\jobname.mtc\themtc}%
    \else
      \mtcPackageInfo[I0033]{minitoc}%
         {Writing\space\jobname.M\themtc\@gobble}%
      \def\mtcname{\jobname.M\themtc}%
    \fi
    \immediate\closeout\tf@mtc
    \immediate\openout\tf@mtc=\mtcname
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\appendix
    \stepcounter{mtc}%
    \if@mtc@longext@%
      \mtcPackageInfo[I0033]{minitoc}%
         {Writing\space\jobname.mtc\themtc\@gobble}%
      \def\mtcname{\jobname.mtc\themtc}%
    \else
      \mtcPackageInfo[I0033]{minitoc}%
         {Writing\space\jobname.M\themtc\@gobble}%
      \def\mtcname{\jobname.M\themtc}%
    \fi
    \immediate\closeout\tf@mtc

  \mtc@toks{\noexpand\leavevmode #2}%
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\section
    \MTC@WriteContentsline{#1}{mtcS}{#3}{#4}%
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\subsection
    \MTC@WriteContentsline{#1}{mtcSS}{#3}{#4}%
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\subsubsection
    \MTC@WriteContentsline{#1}{mtcSSS}{#3}{#4}%
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\paragraph
    \MTC@WriteContentsline{#1}{mtcP}{#3}{#4}%
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\subparagraph
    \MTC@WriteContentsline{#1}{mtcSP}{#3}{#4}%
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\coffee
    \MTC@WriteCoffeeline{#1}{#3}%
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\starchapter
    \stepcounter{mtc}%
    \if@mtc@longext@
      \mtcPackageInfo[I0033]{minitoc}%
         {Writing\space\jobname.mtc\themtc\@gobble}%
      \def\mtcname{\jobname.mtc\themtc}%
    \else
      \mtcPackageInfo[I0033]{minitoc}%
         {Writing\space\jobname.M\themtc\@gobble}%
      \def\mtcname{\jobname.M\themtc}%
    \fi
    \immediate\closeout\tf@mtc
    \immediate\openout\tf@mtc=\mtcname
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\starsection
    \MTC@WriteContentsline{#1}{mtcS}{#3}{#4}%
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\starsubsection
    \MTC@WriteContentsline{#1}{mtcSS}{#3}{#4}%
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\starsubsubsection
    \MTC@WriteContentsline{#1}{mtcSSS}{#3}{#4}%
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\starparagraph
    \MTC@WriteContentsline{#1}{mtcP}{#3}{#4}%
  \fi
  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\endcsname\starsubparagraph
    \MTC@WriteContentsline{#1}{mtcSP}{#3}{#4}%
  \fi
}

This produces for example lines like this one:

{\reset@font\mtcSfont\mtc@string\contentsline{section}{\noexpand \leavevmode \numberline {2.1}section one .}{\reset@font\mtcSfont 5}}

One way to remove the chapter numbering only in the minitoc is to add a command in the section number, which definition will be altered during the minitoc rendering.

Consider the following code to be put in your preamble:

\newcommand{\filterminitoc}[1]{#1}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\csname filterminitoc \endcsname{\arabic{chapter}.}\arabic{section}}
\newcommand{\minitocsection}{\begingroup\renewcommand{\filterminitoc}[1]{}\minitoc\endgroup}

The first line defines a command that will do nothing, to avoid altering the result outside the minitoc. The second line redefines the section numbering, so that the chapter part of the number is passed to the command \filterminitoc. The last line defines a new command that will call \minitoc with a modified command for \filterminitoc, preventing the rendering of the chapter number.

You can now call \minitocsection to render the correct minitoc.

Complete code:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{minitoc}

\newcommand{\filterminitoc}[1]{#1}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\csname filterminitoc \endcsname{\arabic{chapter}.}\arabic{section}}
\newcommand{\minitocsection}{\begingroup\renewcommand{\filterminitoc}[1]{}\minitoc\endgroup}

\begin{document}
\dominitoc
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Introduction}
\chapter{chapter two}
    \minitocsection
    \section{section one}
    \section{section two}
    \section{section three}
\end{document}

Result: the result

[Tex/LaTex] Specify minitoc for each chapter

Answer from 2013

(slightly rearranged for readability, and with a more complete code sample starting with \documentclass and ending with \end{document})

With the etoc package, you generate minitoc's with the command \localtableofcontents. You can modify the tocdepth counter before this command.

It is better (except if intentional) to avoid using addtocontents to inscribe some tocdepth changing instruction to the .toc file: indeed this will impact all the tables of contents inside the document.

Here is the code, to illustrate how one can modify the tocdepth counter in the document at the location where the TOCs are inserted.

Sorry if I am off-topic as I couldn't tell if minitoc was a specific reference to the minitoc package.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{etoc}
\begin{document}

\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}% down to subsections in main TOC
\tableofcontents

% redefine the headings of the future TOCs to use \section* rather than \chapter*
\etocarticlestyle

\chapter{Vincere}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}% local TOC displays only sections
\localtableofcontents

\section {Section 1}
\subsection {1.a}
\subsection {1.b}

\section {Section 2}
\subsection {2.a}
\subsection {2.b}

\chapter{Vincere ancora}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}% local TOC again displays sections and subsections
\localtableofcontents

\section {Section 3}
\subsection {3.a}
\subsection {3.b}

\section {Section 4}
\subsection {4.a}
\subsection {4.b}

\end{document}

Update in 2O15

A few months after this answer was posted in 2013, etoc got enriched with two new commands \etocsettocdepth and \etocsetnexttocdepth.

Package hyperref takes into account the local value of the tocdepth counter in its decision of what goes to the bookmarks (but see its option bookmarksdepth as documented in its README). It is thus advisable to use \etocsetnexttocdepth whose effect extends only to the typesetting of the next TOC be it local (\localtableofcontents) or global.

The \etocsettocdepth{<level>} should be used once in the preamble or near the beginning of the document to set the tocdepth counter to a given value. The <level> may be numeric or a name.

The \etocsetnexttocdepth{<level>} is for temporarily setting the tocdepth counter to a value only for the time of typesetting a TOC. This way no impact on the global bookmarks occurs.

Here is thus how the code above can be written with etoc 1.07g [2013/10/13] or later, in a way which avoids any disturbance of the global hyperref bookmarks:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{etoc}
\usepackage{hyperref}% for testing
\begin{document}

\etocsettocdepth{subsection}
% the main TOC goes down to subsections, and the bookmarks too.
\tableofcontents

% redefine the headings of the TOCs to use \section* rather than \chapter*
\etocarticlestyle

\chapter{Vincere}
\etocsetnexttocdepth{section}
% this local TOC goes down to sections, there is nil impact on bookmarks
\localtableofcontents

\section {Section 1}
\subsection {1.a}
\subsection {1.b}

\section {Section 2}
\subsection {2.a}
\subsection {2.b}

\chapter{Vincere ancora}
% this local TOC again displays down to subsections, like the main TOC
\localtableofcontents

\section {Section 3}
\subsection {3.a}
\subsection {3.b}

\section {Section 4}
\subsection {4.a}
\subsection {4.b}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Boxed minitoc with each chapter

Here's one possibility:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage[many]{tcolorbox}

\newcommand\chapnumfont{\fontsize{50}{60}\selectfont}
\newcommand\chapnamefont{\huge}
\newcommand\chaptitlefont{\LARGE}

\makeatletter
\titleformat{\chapter}
  {\startcontents\bfseries\sffamily}
  {}
  {0pt}
  {}
  [{%
    \filleft{\chapnamefont\@chapapp}\\
    \begin{minipage}[b]{.75\textwidth}
    \begin{tcolorbox}[
      width=\linewidth,
      enhanced,
      top=10pt,
      nobeforeafter,
      outer arc=0pt,
      arc=0pt,
      boxrule=0.6pt,
      colback=white,
      overlay={
        \node[anchor=west,fill=white,inner xsep=6pt] 
          at ([xshift=10pt]frame.north west) 
          {Sommaire};
      }
    ]
      \printcontents{}{1}{}
    \end{tcolorbox}%
    \end{minipage}%
    \begin{minipage}[b]{.25\textwidth}
      \filleft
      \chapnumfont\thechapter
    \end{minipage}\\[10pt]
    {\chaptitlefont#1}
    }%
  ]
\titleformat{name=\chapter,numberless}
  {\startcontents\bfseries\sffamily\filleft}
  {}
  {0pt}
  {\chaptitlefont#1}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{Test chapter one}
\section{Test section one one}
\section{Test section one two}
\section{Test section one three}


\chapter{Test chapter two}
\section{Test section two one}
\section{Test section two two}
\section{Test section two three}
\section{Test section two four}
\section{Test section two five}

\end{document}

Remarks

titlesec was used to change the formatting for the chapter headings.
titletoc was used to produce the partial ToCs.
tcolorbox was used to produce the frame and title around the partial ToCs.
