https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/758140/tex4ht-does-not-create-local-toc-when-using-starred-version-of-sectioning-with-a
setup: I wanted to make all my sections and subsections without numbers
showing on the left side of each entry. So I changed to using the star version
and with manually entering each section or subsection into the main toc.
But now I find that only the main TOC is created, but local toc at top of each
section is missing. This happens with splitting or no splitting.
Removing the star version of sectioning, the local TOC shows up again as
expected.
Here is a MWE
-------------------------
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\ifdefined\HCode
\Configure{tableofcontents*}{section}
\TocAt{section,subsection}
\else
\tableofcontents
\fi
\section*{section 1}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{section 1}%
text
\subsection*{subsection 1}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{subsection 1}%
text
\subsection*{subsection 2}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{subsection 2}%
text
\end{document}
---------------------------
Compiled with
make4ht -ulm default -a debug C.tex 'mathjax,htm'
Gives this

Now see what happens when I change back to normal sectioning (i.e. no star)
---------------------------
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\ifdefined\HCode
\Configure{tableofcontents*}{section}
\TocAt{section,subsection}
\else
\tableofcontents
\fi
\section{section 1}
text
\subsection{subsection 1}
text
\subsection{subsection 2}
text
\end{document}
---------------------
Compiled using same command gives
enter image description here
I expected local TOC to show up in both cases.
