General ⇒ Merging list of tables and list of figures

[ralfmeermeier]

Hall,
My Document contains just two tables; besides I have a a table of figures which is much richer; the problem is that the list of tables takes a hole page, and after this blank page comes the list of figures, which doesnt look nice; I would like to let the list of figures to start at the same page of the list of tables, any help?

Hi ralfmeermeier,

one quick solution could be to load the tocloft package, since with this package the ToC, LoF and LoT not necessarily begin in a new page. The following example illustrates this approach (I used \rule to simulate actual figures and tables):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\clearpage
\listoftables
\listoffigures
\clearpage

\chapter{Test 1}
\begin{table}
  \rule{5cm}{2cm}
  \caption{test table 1.}
  \label{tab:testt1}
\end{table}

\chapter{Test 2}
\begin{figure}
  \rule{5cm}{2cm}
  \caption{test figure 1.}
  \label{fig:test1}
\end{figure}

\begin{table}
  \rule{5cm}{2cm}
  \caption{test table 1.}
  \label{tab:testt2}
\end{table}

\end{document}

By the way, I think that this post belongs to the LaTeX->General
subforum.

Thank you very much! I appreciate it

I have just this little Problem:
I generate the pdf file, then I go to the table of contecnts; if I press Table List or Figure List or Literature then I will be taken to the last section (calles Ausblick) of my document, not to the List of Tables or List of Figures or Literature:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}

anothe packages

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\clearpage


\chapter{Test 1}
\begin{table}
  \rule{5cm}{2cm}
  \caption{test table 1.}
  \label{tab:testt1}
\end{table}

\chapter{Test 2}
\begin{figure}
  \rule{5cm}{2cm}
  \caption{test figure 1.}
  \label{fig:test1}
\end{figure}

\begin{table}
  \rule{5cm}{2cm}
  \caption{test table 1.}
  \label{tab:testt2}
\end{table}

\section{Ausblick} 
\newpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Tabellenverzeichnis}
\listoftables  
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abbildungsverzeichnis}
\listoffigures
\clearpage
\end{document

Besides that how can this annoying empty page of the table of contents be eliminated?

Thank you in advance

Ralf
