RE: TOC with embedded LOF & LOT



I don't think there's any way to automate it. I've done what you're trying
to accomplish in small books by generating the TOC, LOF & LOT, then cut and
paste the contents of the LOF & LOT into the TOC. Then delete LOF & LOT from
the book file, which does not delete them from your directory. If you make
changes to book, just add LOF & LOT back into the book, regenerate and
repeat the process.

And this works only if you use roman numeral page numbers on the generated
files, and begin Ch 1 with arabic page 1.

Subject: TOC with embedded LOF & LOT


Hello,

How do you generate a list of figures and a list of tables, which can be
embedded into the TOC but are not included in the book?  Sometimes a book
may contain a list of 4 figures and 5 tables.  When a LOF and a LOT file is
generated these are separate files in the book.  If I want to import these
into a TOC so that I do not have a page by itself with just 4 figures
listed, I currently use two book files.  

Book 1
Front Matter
TOC
LOF
LOT
Chapter files

Book 2
Front Matter
TOC (with imported LOF and LOT)
Chapter files

I generate Book 1 first, then Book 2.  Book 2 is then used to generate a pdf
file.  

This method works, but I feel that a better solution is may exist.

Thanks,

Adam
