Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Graphics in table of contents

[carl]

Is there any way to include small images in the table of contents?

I'm trying to do something like below where I have a small icon in the section heading and the same image in the table of contents, but I get a "! Missing \endcsname inserted." error when I try.

MWE
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{ Section \includegraphics[height=1.25ex]{foo.pdf} Heading}
\end{document}

Hi, Carl.

I tried your MWE and get the same error. I tried to replace the parameter [height=1.25ex] with something like [scale=0.5] and get the same error.

I tried with no parameter at all and get an output PDF, but there are two errors yet. Those errors are "! Argument of \@sect has an extra }.", and "! Paragraph ended before \@sect was complete.". Although, the errors seem not to affect the output PDF.

The brackets for the optional argument may cause the problem. Group it with an additional pair of curly braces and it should work.

Code: Select all

\section{Section {\includegraphics[height=1.25ex]{foo}} Heading}

Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks for the answers.

I tried the extra curly brackets but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

I tried without the parameter at all and get the same error that joe74 got. I do eventually get an output file, but for me there is no contents line for the section with the image.

Has anyone ever seen putting an image in the table of contents work or am I in uncharted territory here?
