I have two follow-up questions about making a table of contents (ToC), using the suggested approach of two separate documents then concatenated together. 1. As I'm building the ToC and the content, I won't know how many pages the ToC will eventually take up. This means I can't fill in the proper page number next to each ToC entry until after I'm done, because the ToC goes ahead of the content in the concatenated document and thus all my page numbers have to be offset by the number of pages in the ToC. What's the best way to go back and fill these in? Clearly I could make a "dummy" ToC, count how many pages it was, then make the "real" ToC using that information, but there must be a better way. 2. Is there any way to make the entries in the ToC act as hyperlinks to the relevant page in the content, when I concatenate the two documents?
