page-breakingtable of contents
Let's say I'm writing a document with 6 chapters. I want to force the table of contents to be split between two pages. The first page would list the first 4 chapters, the second page would list the last 2 chapters.
How can I do that?
If it matters, assume the document class is report.
I couldn't find a solution in viable time, so I ended up by manually editing the doc.toc table of contents index and adding several \afterpage \cleardoublepage commands through it to force clearing the pages.
In the main document I replaced the \tableofcontents command with \input doc.toc which prevents indexing a new table of contents and reads the file I've manually edited:
\documentclass[11pt,twoside,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{afterpage}
\begin{document}
\input doc.toc
\chapter{}
\end{document}
If anyone still has a programmatic solution, please contribute.
EDIT: Instead of manually editing the .toc file one can add a
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\afterpage\protect\cleardoublepage}
command throughout the main text (e.g. after the begining of each chapter), which will add the \cleardoublepage command to the .toc just the same. This way, you can call the toc with \tableofcontents as always.
with revtex4-1 I get a page break but with the current revtex4-2 class the table of contents comes on page 1.
\documentclass[aps,prd,showpacs,amsmath,amssymb,bm,superscriptaddress,nofootinbib]{revtex4-2}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
\end{figure}
\vspace*{1.5cm}
\title{Title }
\author{Name}
\date{\today}
\begin{abstract}
\vspace*{1.0cm}
\vspace*{1.0cm}
\end{abstract}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\section{zzz}
a
\section{zz zz}
b
\end{document}

Within the body text, right before the fifth chapter, you could add a line break to the
.tocfile, for example:
