General ⇒ Including starred sections in a TOC

[dmt]

Hi, I have a document class report doc I am working on where all the headers use the starred version. I would still like to generate a table of contents which the corresponding page numbers, but the TOC ignores by default all headers with stars, and I don't really want to go through and add each one by hand at the end now.

Is there a way to automatically force the TOC to include starred headers?

Try this:

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Section heading}
\section*{Section heading}

Is this what you want?

Right, but the idea was not to have to go through the entire report and hand code that for every single chapter and section. I ended up doing it this time, but I was hoping there was a global method to do it automatically which would be nice to have.

Oh, I see. I can't think of any way of doing that that doesn't involve writing a macro each for chapters and sections (and subsections and...) that takes an argument that is the heading. Sorry not to be more helpful but I wish you luck on your quest!
