Document Classes ⇒ minitoc of chapter X shifted to chapter X+1

[dimarcom]

Hi,

I encounter a funny problem, here a bit of code:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass[13pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage{minitoc}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{document}

\frontmatter
\chapter{Preface}
blabla

\dominitoc \tableofcontents


\mainmatter
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\chapter{Overview}
blabla
\minitoc

\section{somethingOOO}
\label{sec:somethingOOO}
\subsection{else}
\label{sec:else}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\chapter{Operation}%
\label{sec:operation}
blabla
\minitoc

\section{somethingPPP}
\label{sec:something2}
\subsection{elsePPP}
\label{sec:else1}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\end{document}

If i put the preface after the \dominitoc command, it's all fine.

\dominitoc \tableofcontents
\chapter{Preface}
blabla

But if i put the preface before the \dominitoc command, the minitoc of the chapters are shifted, i.e. the minitoc in chapter 1 is empty, but the chapter1 minitoc appears in chapter 2, and the minitoc of chapter 2 appears in chapter 3, etc.

\chapter{Preface}
blabla
\dominitoc \tableofcontents

I would like my preface to appear before the toc... any idea ?

thanks
marie

Hi Marie,

put the \dominitoc command before the preface, perhaps even before the frontmatter. That command should be called before the first sectioning command like \chapter, else you may get that disorder in the minitoc tables.

... that was simple enough, thanks a lot !
