Hi,

I'm writing a report with automated generation of ToC, but the preface and summary are not in the ToC Preface and summary are both started using \section*{}, the other sections using \section{}. What could be going wrong?

Thank you.

Hi,

\section* does not produce entries for the table of contents. You could use \section, or produce the contents entries yourself, by \addcontentsline or \addtocontents, for example

Code: Select all

\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Preface}
\section*{Preface}
