General ⇒ Include list of figures and tables in table of contents

[iperten]

Hi folks!

What do I have to do if I want to include both list of figures and tables in the table of contents?

And if I want the table of contents as well?

Finally, how can I change the type of page number for the table of contents and lists (i.e.: i, ii, iii, etc in place of 1, 2, 3, etc)?

Thank you.
Cheers.

I assume your are using one of the standard classes. So you have to add these lists manually to the TOC. This may solve as an example for the report class.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
…
\begin{document}
  …
  \pagenumbering{roman}                             % small roman letters as page numbers
  \tableofcontents\newpage
  \pagenumbering{arabic}                            % back to normal page numbers
  …
  \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}
  \listoffigures\newpage
  \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Tables}
  \listoftables\newpage
  …
\end{document}

For the article class, which doesn't support chapters, you have to replace chapter with section. But what should the entry of the TOC in the TOC do (or did i misunderstand that)?

For easier handling of such things, take a look at the KOMA-Script Bundle. It provides extended documentclasses with many features.

Play with these commands, in order to get your preferred style:

Code: Select all

\tableofcontents
\listoffiggures
\listoftables
\pagenumbering{roman}
\pagenumbering{arabic}

Edit: The answer above by localghost is more useful.

Thank you guys!

I'll try to play/work a bit with those commands.

Cheers.

I still have some problems: in the output pdf file, there is no correspondence between the pages where contents, list of figure s and list of tables are and the numbers that appear near those entries in the TOC.

This is what I'm writing now, without the \newpage command:

Code: Select all

\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Contents}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Tables}

Thank you.

My fault! The \newpage command is unavoidable!
