Page Layout ⇒ Problem with titlesec / toc on chapter starting page

[Montag]

Hello,

on each page on which a new chapter starts, I'd like to have a table of contens that lists the section, subsections and subsubsections of this particular chapter. It should look like the "usual boring" table of contens that LaTeX produces by default via \tableofcontens when neither titlesec nor titletoc are loaded. The attached tex-file is as far as I got with the help of the documention for titlesec.
Could someone help me, please?

Hi, enrico

I would remove the \startcontents and \printcontents commands from the \titleformat command for chapters and simply use them after each \chapter command in body of the document, as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
11pt,
german,
a4paper
]{scrreprt}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{lipsum,lmodern}

\usepackage[
%headsepline,
automark
]{scrpage2}
\clearscrheadfoot
\setkomafont{pageheadfoot}{\small}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\lehead{\pagemark}
\cehead{\leftmark}
\rehead{~}
%	\lefoot{~}
%	\cefoot{\pagemark/\pageref{LastPage}}
%	\refoot{~}
%**********************************************	
\lohead{~}
\cohead{\rightmark}
\rohead{\pagemark}
%	\lofoot{~}
%	\cofoot{\pagemark/\pageref{LastPage}}
%	\rofoot{~}

\renewcommand{\indexpagestyle}{scrheadings}
\renewcommand{\chapterpagestyle}{plain}

\usepackage{titlesec}

%\titleformat{command}
%[shape]
%{format}
%{label}
%{sep}
%{before}
%[after]
\titleformat{\chapter}
{\titlerule\rmfamily\normalfont\scshape\huge}
{\thechapter}
{.5em}
{}
[\vspace*{4pc}]

\titleformat{\section}
{\rmfamily\normalfont\LARGE}
{\thesection}
{.5em}
{}

\titleformat{\subsection}
{\rmfamily\normalfont\large}
{\thesubsection}
{.5em}
{}

\titleformat{\subsubsection}
{\rmfamily\normalfont}
{\thesubsubsection}
{.5em}
{}

\newcommand{\xquad}{\hspace{1em plus.4em minus.4em}}
\usepackage{titletoc}

\begin{document}
\begin{center}
	the title: \Large\textsc{Test Document}
\end{center}
\vspace{5cm}
\begin{center}

\end{center}
\clearpage
\tableofcontents

\chapter{test1}

\startcontents
\printcontents{0}{1}{\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}}

\section{subtest1}

\subsection{938he}

\lipsum[2]

\subsection{iiii9999}

\subsubsection{A test subsubsection}

\lipsum[1]

\section{subtest2}

\lipsum[1-3]

\chapter{Another Chapter}
\startcontents
\printcontents{0}{1}{\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}}

\section{Some section1}

\lipsum[1]

\section{Next section}

\lipsum[3]

\end{document}

Thank you, but that doesn't work correctly. I tried it myself before, in a way, but I c&p your code and it yields the same wrong result.
It gives me the "usual boring" table of contents of the whole document plus an error. Well, at least not about 40 errors like I had before...

It's truly annoying. I don't understand it at all. Maybe there will be another solution/hint given by someone else. I'd appreciate it a lot.

Perhaps your system is outdated; I get no errors with the code I provided, and I get each chapter with its own table of contents that includes only the sections, subsections and subsubsections (see the attached PDF) corresponding to each chapter.

Here's the file list used by my system (taken from the .log file after addition of \listfiles in my previous code) after compilation of my previous code; compare with your list, and update your system if required:

Thank you for your reply.

Ah ... yes, now I see. You removed the command(s) which are based on the titletoc package, \titlecontents.
Well, you see, I'd like very much to keep them, meaning I would a) have my own customized headings and b) get one little toc at the beginning of the document (only chapters and section, maybe even parts) and a detailed toc on the first page of a new chapter (this one with sections, subsections and subsubsections).

Just for clarification, I've just figured what I wrote about, I guess it does not have anything to do with the date of the packages...

The headings won't be affected by the \titlecontents commands... perhaps you are referring to the entries of the table of contents? As for b), simply add

Code: Select all

\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}

to the preamble of my code.

Quite frankly I don't understand your reply. The example I gave you satisfies these requirements (after completion with the line I just mentioned), so I still don't see what's going wrong.

[Montag]

You are right, sorry for giving such a confusing answer.

... perhaps you are referring to the entries of the table of contents?

Yes, exactly! That's why in my inital posting there was

Code: Select all

\usepackage{titletoc}

\contentsmargin{0pt}
\titlecontents{chapter}[0pt]
    {\addvspace{2pc}\large}
    {\rmfamily\scshape\thecontentslabel~}
    {}
    {~-~\thecontentspage}
    [\vspace{2pt}]
\titlecontents*{section}[1.5pc]
    {\small}
    {\thecontentslabel~}
    {}
    {~-~\thecontentspage}
    [\xquad\textbullet\xquad]
    \setcounter{tocdepth}{1}
\contentsfinish

. This gives me the toc at the beginning of the whole document.

So the following quote is, in a sense, already applied.

As for b), simply add

Code: Select all

\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}

to the preamble of my code.

But it is enhanced by titletoc's commands. As you can see in the code I posted above. So the requirement includes the style.

Obviously, the difficult thing for me is how to get a proper "boring" detailed toc on a first page of a new chapter.
The problem is: LaTeX still applies some the new style (which I used for the toc at the beginning of the whole document) to said "detailed" toc on a first page of a chapter. In a way, I can understand the conflict, but then again in another way, I can't figure out why it does that.

I also seem to have a problem with

Code: Select all

\printcontents{0}{1}{\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}}

in my original document, there's always an error about a missing \item. And that I can't figure out either. It's just more text in between, some math and another chapter, but the code I just wrote does not work there.

[Montag]

Another version finally: I figured out some stuff, especially how to work with the "prefix"-option, but apparently I still got something wrong. I'd like the partial TOC at the beginning of chapter 1 to be formatted like the usual TOC that LaTeX produces by default via \tableofcontents, without titlesec or any other package.
Could anyone give me a hint?
