General ⇒ 2 table of contents

[flotlse83]

Hi,
First of all, I would like to thank you all. I have learned a lot by reading many of your posts.

As many of us, I am working on my thesis manuscript, and I must write two completely separate parts.
The first part is the full version in english, and the second part is a (not so) short summary in french. The parts have to contain their own table of contents, table of figures, their own chapters and so on... but the page numbers should be normally incremented.

I have not been able to find a sexy way to do that yet. Any ideas ?

The only way that I am thinking of right now is to generate two different files, and use \setcounter{page}{} at the beginning of the second file to account for the number of pages of the first file, and find a way to only create one pdf (i'm sure this is possible).

If you have any suggestions, your help is very much appreciated,
thank you,

Hi,

the minitoc package could be an option. Refer to the package documentation for further information.

I will look at it, thank you.

Maybe I am not using minitoc correctly, but
1. I can not have the first table of contents in english (in part 1), and the second in french although I had the "part 2" correctly translated using the babel (english, french) package
2. For some reason, the toc, lof, and lot do not follow the style rules that I use to have with a simple table of contents.

thank you for your help,

Hi flotlse83,

If I were you, I would have a command (do you know how to use the \renewcommand ?) that simply takes two inputs, the English and the French. Then, when you want to output the French, you can just change the renewcommand to output French.

Does that make sense?

[flotlse83]

It does. I will try that out.
thanks

did that do the trick? I'm wondering if you used that way or found a better way.
