General ⇒ Add Stuff to ToC

[xiaodang]

Hi all,

I have a problem when making the table of contents. I want to add the author below the section title, but it doesn't work.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{This Is the First Section}
\addtocontents{toc}{\textit{the author}}   % error here

\section{Anther Section}
\end{document}

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi xiaodang,

welcome to the board!

Nice complete minimal example. You can fix it by adding \par:

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\textit{the author}\par}
