LyX ⇒ Let Bibliography appear in ToC

[light-blue]

Hello all,

I'm a newbie of LaTeX and LyX. I love LyX, but recently I've faced a problem and couldn't have found a working solution for that.

I have to add my bibliography to table of content, but no solution has worked for me. Here is the official page of LyX about that:

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/TOC#bibtotoc

I don't understand this:

If you use a KOMA class: use the document option liststotoc
Else: use the package tocbibind from CTAN:/, i.e. \usepackage{tocbibind}
If you use \usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind} instead, the toc will not show up in the toc.

I don't know many idioms and expressions about LyX and LaTeX. Could anybody please help me on how can I add the bibliography to the ToC in a very easy step?

(PS: I've added my bibliography by the drop-down menu, top left of LyX IDE.)

thanks in advance

You can fix this by the command: \addcontentsline{toc}{<depth>}{<name>}
where the <depth> is the depth of the entry, like section, chapter, subsubsection, etc.
<name> should be in your case something like "Bibliography"

This will do the job.

Hi Boersma,

it's great that you post answers to still open questions, thanks!

Perhaps the poster doesn't know much about ERT (LaTeX in LyX) yet, so I guess tocbibind would be the easiest option. He just doesn't need to know how to add the package:

• In the LyX main menu, open Document and the sub menu Settings.
• A dialog windows opens. On the left side, choode "LaTeX Preamble".
• In the edit field on the right side, add

  Code: Select all

  \usepackage{tocbibind}

Whenever you read that you may need to add a LaTeX package, this is a way. In this LaTeX preamble, further document wide settings can be specified, so it's good to know this way in LyX.
