Writing a book, I decided to use the book class. There are several book classes, but when adding a table of contents, suddenly all pages had 'Table of contents' in their header (I still don't understand why). The book class was the only one working properly, I thought at least.
Why is it so hard to get good typesetting, automatic table of contents rendering, and plenty of other stuff? I yet have to find one tool that does the job properly without hassle, adding things, modifying things, looking for workarounds. There is always something going wrong. I don't want to code my book, I want to write it. Don't get me wrong, latex and lyx do a terrific job, but as with many open source tools there is always something extra that has to be done to get the job done right. I am actually getting tired of it. grtz, Bart http://www.bartart3d.be/ 2011/8/5 Richard Heck <[email protected]> > On 08/05/2011 12:54 PM, [email protected] wrote: > >> Thanks for the answer, >> >> I fixed the TOC trouble with latex command \addcontentsline, that seems to >> work.
