Chapter 8: Listing Contents and References
LaTeX makes it very easy to create lists for many purposes. For example, we've seen that just the simple \tableofcontents command creates a nice-looking table of contents. It takes the entries from the headings and the numbers of the pages they fall on and produces a nice list.
A table of contents (TOC) and an index are handy for navigating within a book. Lists of tables and lists of figures are similarly helpful. Usually, an academic paper or a book requires a list of references for citations, a bibliography. Once you finish this chapter, you will know how to create such lists and how to customize them.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Customizing the table of contents
- Generating an index
- Creating a bibliography
- Changing the headings
We will start with the contents.
