I discovered in the tocbibind documentation that the t...@chapter command was
exactly what I wanted for my front matter sections. I tried making
a FrontMatterSection style in my layout file, but when I try to run LaTeX
with LyX I get the following error (though the TeX source in LyX looks like
what I want, eg \...@chapter{acknowledgements}):
Undefined Control Sequence
\toc
@chapter{Acknowledgements}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed.
Is there a quick fix to this? Do I need to define \...@chapter somewhere?
I can see \usepackage{tocbibind} in my TeX source so it should be defined.
Hi Will,
You have come a long way. Well done.
The use of @ in a LaTeX macro (such as in \...@chapter) is restricted to
within packages, or in the document when sandwiched between
\makeatletter and \makeatother. Otherwise, what LaTeX "sees" is a \toc
macro, followed by the @ character which is not allowed to be part of a
macro's name.
Generally speaking, package designers use @ in a macro's name to mark it
as internal. Such macros are not meant to be used in the document and
could have side effects.
Warnings aside, a workaround is to define your own macro without the @
character... maybe \frontmattersection ?
AddToPreamble
\usepackage{tocbibind}
\newcommand{\frontmattersection}[1]{\...@chapter{#1}}
EndPreamble
Style FrontMatterSection
...
LatexName frontmattersection
End
The reason this would work is that LyX takes care of sandwiching your
preamble commands between \makeatletter and \makeatother.
By the way, such definitions might be better suited for your .cls file
anyway.
Cheers,
Julien
