Text Formatting ⇒ TOC for custom item (new environment)

[august_month]

Hello Everyone!

I created the following new environment:

Code: Select all

\newenvironment{question}{\stepcounter{Questioncounter}
{\bf  Question.} \arabic{Questioncounter} }{\vspace{12pt}}{\begin{it}
\end{it} }

I would like to include this environment into TOC. Could anybody suggest something?

Hi August,

welcome to the board!

A small tip first: the forum has code formatting, you can use the Code button above the edit field to mark code. I just did that for you.

Regarding your question: you can use one of the commands \addcontentsline and \addtocontents for that. If you follow the links, you can see the syntax.

Thank you very much, Stefan!

Here is how I updated the code:

Code: Select all

\newenvironment{question}{\stepcounter{Questioncounter} {\bf  Question.} \arabic{Questioncounter}  \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Questioncounter} }{\vspace{12pt}}{\begin{it}
\end{it} }

Now I get Questioncounter with page number in TOC, but I want to have Question (question number) then page number in TOC

Something like : Question 7 ........ 60

Is this possible?

Thanks again!

Yes, you can write

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Question \theQuestioncounter}

\thecountername prints the value resp. presentation of a counter.
