i have two different problems related with the frontmatter. I have searched the internet to find a solution but I couldn't find.
I want to create a document, book style, with contents page after a dedication one. After the contents I want to include a list of tables, list of figures, list of symbols and a list of abbreviations. I use the following code for this (see the end of the post).
The errors or let's call them inconsistencies are:
1. list of abbreviations and list of symbols are interpreted as being part of the list of tables, therefore I get a wrong header for abbreviation and symbol list
2 the pdf bookmarks are not correct for the \frontmatter but only for \mainmatter. This can be seen also when one tries to navigate to list of abbreviations for example from the TOC
What should I do to correct these things?
Thanks,
roescu
