New Feature Request: Chapter Contents

[Mark Horton]

Hi Developers

It would make navigation a lot easier for large documents if we had the
the ability to generate a contents of Chapters at the start.

Plus a more detailed contents page at the start of each Chapter.

This is a LaTeX issue, first and foremost. It's easy to get only the 
chapters in the TOC initially. (See Document Settings Numbering and 
TOC). It's getting the TOCs for each chapter that is the issue. But I 
believe there are LaTeX packages that will do this. Go to CTAN.org and 
search for them, or try googling. If you can find it, then, at a bare 
minimum, you could do this with ERT, and you can also file an 
enhancement request for native support for the package.

 Hopefully there's an easy way to have pdfTeX and XeTeX working. Note
 that if I remove the following lines from the preamble, export with
 XeTeX
 works fine (but pdfTeX is broken):

 \DeclareInputText{176}{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi}
 \DeclareInputText{183}{\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi}

 There is a simple fix: move the offending lines into the

 \ifpdf
 \fi

 block.

 However, the right way is to remove the lines as well as the section
 in the guide, because it is no longer true. Since several versions,
 LYXDIR/unicodesymbols contains the required definitions for text and
 math mode.

 I prefer the right way. So you suggest to remove the two
 DeclareInputText commands and to remove all of the section
 Miscellaneous special Characters ?

 After I do that, I get errors because of the € symbol. After I remove
 those occurrences, XeTeX and pdfTeX both export fine. There is an
 entry in unicodesymbols for the euro. Is this a different euro?

 The \texteuro macro is provided by the textcomp package.

 A quick and dirty fix would be to set the force flag so that the textcomp
 package is auto-loaded. However, this is an overkill as this would also
 replace the Euro (€) character with the \texteuro macro which is not
 required for the TeX input encodings
 utf8, ansinew, cp1250, cp1252, cp1257, cp858, latin10, and latin9

 A force-preamble flag that only forces loading the preamble code without
 forcing the replacement could solve the issue. For the textcomp feature
 this regards the characters

I've used the LaTeX minitoc package successfully with LyX for a large 
book (600 pages). It creates a table of contents for each chapter, 
inserted at the start of the chapter. I restricted the main TOC at the 
start of the book to section level, but each chapter TOC was to 
subsubsection level. Each chapter has \minitoc in ERT after the chapter 
heading, but that's all, so ERT use is minimal. The preamble to the 
master document (each chapter is a child document  has nothing in the 
preamble) has


\usepackage[tight]{minitoc}
\setcounter{minitocdepth}{3}
\setlength{\mtcindent}{24pt}
\renewcommand{\mtcfont}{\small\rm}
\renewcommand{\mtcSfont}{\small\bf}
\renewcommand{\mtcSSSfont}{\footnotesize\it}
\renewcommand{\mtctitle}{}

which shows the kind of tailoring to individual whims that is possible.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I have found a package to do the job called Minitoc. Unfortunately 
being an ignorant beginner in this field  I don't know how to Install 
it  and make it work from Latex.


What OS are you using? There's probably a Package Manager of some sort 
you can use to install the package.


Andrew's instructions on how to use minitoc can be explained in more 
detail once we have the package installed.

 There is a simple fix: move the offending lines into the

 \ifpdf
 \fi

 block.

 However, the right way is to remove the lines as well as the section
 in the guide, because it is no longer true. Since several versions,
 LYXDIR/unicodesymbols contains the required definitions for text and
 math mode.

I've used the LaTeX minitoc package successfully with LyX for a large 
book (600 pages). It creates a table of contents for each chapter, 
inserted at the start of the chapter. I restricted the main TOC at the 
start of the book to section level, but each chapter TOC was to 
subsubsection level. Each chapter has \minitoc in ERT after the chapter 
heading, but that's all, so ERT use is minimal. The preamble to the 
master document (each chapter is a child document & has nothing in the 
preamble) has


\usepackage[tight]{minitoc}
\setcounter{minitocdepth}{3}
\setlength{\mtcindent}{24pt}
\renewcommand{\mtcfont}{\small\rm}
\renewcommand{\mtcSfont}{\small\bf}
\renewcommand{\mtcSSSfont}{\footnotesize\it}
\renewcommand{\mtctitle}{}

which shows the kind of tailoring to individual whims that is possible.

 I prefer the right way. So you suggest to remove the two
 DeclareInputText commands and to remove all of the section
 "Miscellaneous special Characters" ?

 After I do that, I get errors because of the € symbol. After I remove
