Page Layout ⇒ Pagebreak after TOC title and before TOC listing

[Dr. Doerke]

Perhaps this has been solved and I just don't know how query it. This is the code I'm using:

Code: Select all

\newpage{}
\renewcommand\contentsname{\large{Table of Contents}}
\pagestyle{plain}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\tableofcontents

What I get is one page showing "Table of Contents" and white space. The TOC listing begins on the next page. I would like the listing to appear under the "Table of Contents". How do I prevent the page break after "Table of Contents"?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

This code does not cause the problem. Here it is extended to make it compilable:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\newpage{}
\renewcommand\contentsname{\large{Table of Contents}}
\pagestyle{plain}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\tableofcontents
\section{A section}
\end{document}

The output:

toc.png (3.65 KiB) Viewed 3467 times

No pagebreak, as you can see. So please provide further information, the best would be if you would post a minimal working example, like I did, which shows the undesired output. It would be good to do this when posting a question, to save time.

I've used the code as you have suggested and this is what I get

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I did not suggest any code. Actually, I would make it differently. I only extended your code a bit to make it compilable for testing, for verifying that the problem doesn't occur. And because it does not happen, it proves that the problem is not caused in your code snippet. It is somewhere else, which you did not show. That's why I asked you to post a minimal working example. Please follow this link to learn why and how.
