General ⇒ toc and page numbering

[iperten]

Probably I'm making somewhere a really stupid mistake but this is killing me.

I am using these commands:

\pagenumbering{roman}
\tableofcontents\newpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Contents}
\listoffigures\newpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}
\listoftables\newpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Tables}
\pagenumbering{arabic}

to add list of figures, list of tables and contents in the table of contents itself.

I'm also numbering those pages with lowercase roman letters while the rest of the report has Arabic number.

Now, the problem is that often, in the pdf output, there is no correspondence between the page number shown in the contents and the page where the entry effectively is.

Either, though the previous commands, lists of figures and tables have Arabic pagenumbers.

Does anyone know what it is due to?

thank you.

Did you try adding the entry to the table of contents before creating a newpage:

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{roman}
\tableofcontents\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Contents}
\newpage
\listoffigures\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}
\newpage
\listoftables\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Tables}
\newpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}

Well, it doesn't work: even at the beginning, the page numbers do not appear.

But thank you for the suggestion.
