[Tex/LaTex] Wrong page number for List of Figures within Table of Contents

page-breakingpage-numberingtable of contents

I have a problem when I typeset my document. The document class is book. I added the List of Figures to Table of Contents manually using following command:

\newpage
\phantomsection\label{listoffig}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}
\listoffigures

The Table of Contents itself contains of 3 pages and started at page xii. The List of Figures appears at page xv. However, the Table of Contents showed that the List of Figures is at page xiii (which is wrong).

I have also tried this command:

\cleardoublepage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}
\listoffigures

but the problem still occurs. Every page number within the Table of Contents is correct, except for the List of Figures. Strangely, when I open the .toc files, the page number for the List of Figures is correct (it showed xv).

Update: I still unable to fix the problem, now the Table of Contents page number is incorrect within the Table of Contents itself, here is the example of what I have done so far.

Best Answer

The second code you mentioned should work, as egreg already commented. However, you could write the \addcontentsline command into the .lof file, before figures are created, so it's executed at the beginning of the beginning of the list of figures page:

\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}}

You need to use \protect before \addcontentsline to prevent the expansion of that macro when it's written to the .lof file.

Another approach would be using the tocbibind package instead of adding those entries manually. tocbibind automatically adds the bibliography and/or the index and/or the contents, list of figures, list of tables etc. to the table of contents. The package provides options for switching off any of these inclusions.
