Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ listoffigures like section and NOT section*

[pozzyx]

Hello everybody

I'm new to latex and I've a little problem.

I had at the end of my document a listoffigures but this listoffigures hasn't a number like my other sections and it doesn't appear (with a number) in the tableofcontent.

I've tried :
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Liste des figures}
\listoffigures

But in the table of content my line hasn't a number like the other sections.

I'm using documentclass article

Is there anyway the listoffigures appaears like a normal section ?

Thanks for your help.

This seems like a bit if a dirty hack, but could you manually add the number like this

Code: Select all

\listoffigures
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{5\ \ \ \listfigurename}

Obviously change the number and perhaps the space between the number and title so it is right for you.

Yes but in this case the number will not be shown on the page of the list of figure before the title

Not very common to number the LoF (or LoT). Try the tocbibind package.

If that settles the matter you should act as I directed you in my last reply and mark the topic as solved.

It seems that I messed things up a little bit. The recommended package won't help. It only numbers the ToC entry of the bibliography and the index. But you can also try another approach. For this we have to pick up some code from the »article.cls« file and modify it slightly.

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\listoffigures{%
  \section{\listfigurename}%
  \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\listfigurename}{\MakeUppercase\listfigurename}%
  \@starttoc{lof}%
}
\renewcommand\listoftables{%
  \section{\listtablename}%
  \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\listtablename}{\MakeUppercase\listtablename}%
  \@starttoc{lot}%
}
\makeatother

These lines go into the preamble of your document. The only modification is to replace the starred \section* command in the original with the usual \section command to get numbered headings.
