General ⇒ exclude list of figures from table of contents

[marxt]

Hello,

How can I exclude the list of figures from table of contents?

with this line
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
I obtain a pdf in which table of content include also the list of figure as first item.

I don't want that the list of figures appear in table of contents list.
How can I do?

Thankyou

Hi marxt,

which documentclass do you use? Can you provida a minimal working example?
With this code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{book}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\chapter{One}
\end{document}

that behaviour is not obtained.

I use this dovumentclass

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside,openright]{report}

the only way to avoid this behaviour is the use of documentclass{book},
or exist another way with documentclass{report}???

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Even with your document class line I don't get that behaviour. Other code (maybe inside a package you are using) should be responsible for it. If you posted a minimal working example (see link above for explanation), I could possibly find it. At least one should see your preamble here.

this is my preamble:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.5pt}
\hoffset=-15mm
\headheight=15pt
\textwidth=140mm
\headsep=5mm
\voffset=-5mm
\textheight=240mm
\evensidemargin=25mm
\oddsidemargin=25mm

\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{roman}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3} 
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3} 

\tableofcontents
\listoffigures

\cleardoublepage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\chapter{One}
\chapter{two}
\chapter{three}

\input {biblio}
\end{document}

As Stefan_K has mentioned, the standard behaviour is not to include the list of figures in the Table of Contents, so you must be using some package that changes this behaviour.

Unfortunately, your last post does not contain vital information of your document's preamble (the list of loaded packages) and without this information all we can do is guess.

If you are loading the tocbibind package, then the list of figures will be included in the ToC. Search for this line in your preamble

Code: Select all

\usepackage{tocbibind}

If present, simply delete it or use

Code: Select all

\usepackage[notlof]{tocbibind}

Thanks!!!

the problem was caused by the package 2tocbibind".

Hey! I am having the same problem. My table of contents includes the list of tables and the list of figures. Does anybody has an idea of why?

here is my preface

\documentclass[12pt, final]{amsbook}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{setspace, verbatim}
\usepackage[final]{pdfpages}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{multirow}

\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{png}{.png}{`convert #1 `dirname #1`/`basename #1 .tif`.png}

\newcommand{\separate}{\medskip}
\renewcommand\contentsname{Table of Contents}

%\doublespace
\setcounter{tocdepth}{4}


\title{...}
\author{...}
\pagenumbering{roman}

\begin{document}
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}

\maketitle
\thanks{...}

\tableofcontents
\listoftables
\listoffigures



\doublespace
\cleardoublepage
\section[Introduction]{Introduction}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}

Hi dem,

welcome to the board!

My table of contents includes the list of tables and the list of figures. Does anybody has an idea of why?

that's the standard behavior of the amsbook class. If you don't need to meet the AMS requirements you could use a standard class like the book class or for instance scrbook. If you want to use amsbook you would have to redefine something or find a workaround. That's of cause possible but later could occur another problem with a special ams class behavior...

Thank you Stefan_K for your response!
This was my first serious work in Latex, and i think is too late to change the class now. but In the future i will try other classes. In the meanwhile, I think that I will edit the .toc file directly, before creating the pdf file.
thanks!
