Is it safe to touch \@starttoc for multiple List of Listing ?

Post by mysterion_ »

Hello,

Since I encountered this bug that I haven't been able to solve ( https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions ... n-starttoc ), I wonder how we can deal with this kind of issue generally ?

For example, here, it is clearly something wrong when I do :

Code: Select all

\usepackage[toc]{multitoc}
It seems to impact only the tol (which used by the package listings to print its table of listings) : the others have no this problem (tof, toc, tot). Without debugging tools, it is hard to understand why it fails :(

Thanks for the help

Years ago I've send a bug report to the package author, because multitoc disables \@starttoc for all files but toc, lot and lof. He answered, that he does not support the package any longer and he recommends not to use it any longer.
Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms. :cry:

Thanks for the answer @Ijon Tichy : I wonder if there is still packages like that that used the same strategy :D
