General ⇒ about Table of Contents and section numbering

[victork]

Hi~
First, I'm poor at English so I ask your understanding.

I want to use \tableofcontents.
When I use \section{<blahblah>} (or \chapter, \subsection...),the table of contents well created , well indexed and well page numbering.
But, the form (or shape or position of title) of the body (I don't know proper expression. the part of contents actually described) were fixed.
So I tried to use \section*{\(something) <blahblah> } and \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{<blahblah>} and the result looks good. However I found that all numbering and connection of labels were broken.

Then how can I fix this problem??

And school of my country rarely use Latex so my school has no latex templetes and only has MS word version. But my advisor prof. wanted to me to write my disseration with Latex and to make templetes too.

Hi, maybe you can provide a Minimal working example. An MWE shows just the code to reproduce the problem. Right now, I am not quite sure what your problem seems to be.

Do you know about the KOMA-script classes and packages? These are extensions to the standard classes and many things can be done with simple options.

Hi victork,

Welcome to the LaTeX community.

My guess is that you want the optional argument of \section:

Code: Select all

% numbered:
\section{heading and toc-entry}
\section[toc-entry]{heading}
% unnumbered:
\section{heading and no toc-entry}

The KOMA-classes allow even finer control.
