Wrong page numbers in ToC of unnumbered sections

Post by sascq »

Hi all,

I am a LyX user and wanted to list an unnumbered chapter and sections to the table of content, document class "Book".
So I added this in the LaTeX Preamble:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Title}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Title}
In the PDF everything is ok, except for the fact that in the ToC the chapter and all following sections are listed under page number 1. How can I add (the correct) page numbers? It should be 7, 13, 16 etc. instead of 1, 1, 1 ...

Thanks in advance!

Hi sascq,

welcome to the forum!

Put such commands as TeX code (ERT) into the document at the beginning of the corresponding chapter or section.
