General ⇒ Making a fake content

[EigenGoofy]

Hello, everybody!

I wanna make a fake content as following

Content

Preface ....................... I

Chapter one: Introduction ..................... 1
Section 1: Apple .............................. 2
Section 2: Wine Brew .......................... 19

Chapter two: Industry ......................... 41
Section 1: Wheat .............................. 42
Section 2: Pesticide .......................... 67

etc.

The reason why it is fake is because the actual sections and corresponding page numbers do not exist at all.

How could I do this? Thank you very much!

You could use \addtocontents and \contentsline, such as

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\contentsline{chapter}{Industry}{41}}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\contentsline{section}{Wheat}{42}}

Hello, Stefan_K!

Thank you for your help!

Your code does not work very well in LyX. It partially fail to generate content and chapter or section number, and it returns an error message:

Paragraph ended before \contentsline was complete.

Now I am using the following code:

Code: Select all

\tableofcontents
\protect \contentsline {chapter}{\protect \numberline Preface {}}{IV}
\protect \contentsline {chapter}{\protect \numberline Chapter {1}: Preliminary}{1}
\protect \contentsline {section}{\protect \numberline {1.1}Mathmetical Background}{1}

This code can generate everything for me, I am quite satisfied. But it also returns an error message:

Paragraph ended before \contentsline was complete.

So everytime I have to ignore this error message.
