[Tex/LaTex] \section*[toc]{normal section title} not working for me

amsbooksectioningtable of contents

for my thesis I want to have a section appear differently in the ToC than in the text.

After googling a bit, I found \section[short]{long} as a proposed answer, but this does not seem to work for me.

Here is a MnotWE:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,reqno]{amsbook}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[SlantedFont={Latin Modern Roman Slanted},
         SmallCapsFont = {Latin Modern Roman Caps},
         ]{Latin Modern Roman}



\usepackage[activate=true,nocompatibility},final,tracking=true,factor=1100,stretch=10,shrink=10]{microtype}

\usepackage[bindingoffset=1cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{english}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\title{\textsc{Some Title}}
\author{me}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\frontmatter
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter

\part[toc part]{normal part}
\section*[toc section]{normal section}
some text

\end{document}

It just takes "toc part" as normal and as ToC heading for the \part command.

For the section I am interested in the starred version. Here the [toc section] part of the command seems to be completely ignored.

I use LuaLaTeX to build my document.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to get a \section* appear with a different title in the ToC?

Best Answer

The AMS classes use a different method for changing the title in the TOC; here's an example, which can be used in all sectional titles (including \part, but for that the usual method works too).

It can be summarized in this way:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,reqno]{amsbook}

\begin{document}

\frontmatter
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter

\part{%
  \for{toc}{toc part}\except{toc}{normal part}%
}

\chapter[This will go in the running head]{%
  \for{toc}{toc chapter}\except{toc}{normal chapter}%
}

\section*[sec]{\for{toc}{toc section}\except{toc}{normal section}}

some text

\clearpage
\mbox{}
\clearpage
\mbox{}

\end{document}

The tricks with \for and \except are thought for adding appropriate line break points, which might be different in the body or in the TOC.
