LyX ⇒ How to introduce new Sections in the general Index

[Edulis]

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when generating the general Inndex of my masther-thesis.
I have inserted some scientific articles as a pdf by linking them, but the different sections (intro, experimental, discussion, conclusions ...) do not appear in the general index.

How could I manually enter these sections in the general index?
Which order I need to introduce? (in the preamble or in red-code?)

OK,
I just solved the problem:

How to add new sections to the General Index, sub ...

For example, when you have a section not numbered (like "Section*"), or do not appear anywhere. Introduce in the text next to section unnumbered this red-tex-code:
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{whatever you want to appear}

In my case, as I have a pdf link, I've introduce all the codes one after another before the pdf link (in the general index all of them show the same page, but at least appear). I've written:

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Introduction}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Experimental}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Instrumental}
(...)

...what does the {toc} code means?

Hi Edulis,

...what does the {toc} code means?

toc is an abbreviation for table of contents. It means that the contents line will be written to the file with the extension .toc. Similarly, lof stands for list of figures and lot for list of tables.
