General ⇒ achemso: TOC is empty

[fedorz]

Hi. This short piece of code uses achemso and runs fine, except the Contents section is blank. The TOC file is also empty, even if run twice. Does anyone see what is wrong here?

thanks in advance

The code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[journal=jacsat,manuscript=suppinfo,a4paper]{achemso}
\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Adobe Garamond Pro}
\newcommand*\mycommand[1]{\texttt{\emph{#1}}}
\newcommand{\superscript}[1]{\ensuremath{^{\textrm{#1}}}}
\newcommand{\subscript}[1]{\ensuremath{_{\textrm{#1}}}}
\renewcommand{\thepage}{S\arabic{page}}
\author{Author1}
\author{Author2}
\email{nnn@aaa.com}
\affiliation[Laboratory]

\title[paper SI]
  {\ \\ The Title} 
\abbreviations{IR,NMR,UV}

JACS does not use section numbers, or indeed tables of contents, and so these are not supported by the achemso class here.

[fedorz]

OK, this makes sense, thanks Joseph. Now, I am writing Supporting Information which normally *does* need TOC. Can you think of some workaround?

I'm also having the same problem. I'm writing a paper to be submitted to Langmuir, and they also require a table of content for the supporting information. It would be good to have a solution to this.

I just found a solution (I think). All I did was add
\SectionNumbersOn
in the preamble, or more specifically right after
\documentclass[journal=jacsat,manuscript=suppinfo,a4paper]{achemso}
in the MWE that fedorz provided. Hope that works for you too, fedorz!
