This option, initially written by Nigel Ward and Dan Jurafsky, has been
almost completely redesigned at CERT/ONERA by Jean-Pierre Drucbert.
It creates a mini-table of contents
(a ``minitoc'' 1.1) at the beginning of each chapter of the document.
It is also possible to have a mini-list of
figures (a ``minilof'') and a mini-list of tables (a ``minilot'').
The main style of the document should of
course be using chapters (styles like book or report) or sections
(styles like article). This option should not be used with
styles without sectionning commands (like letter).
When the main style allows the ``part'' sectionning level (i.e. styles
like book, report and article), you can
create a ``partial'' table of contents
(a ``parttoc'') at the beginning of each part of the document.
It is also possible to have a partial list of figures (a ``partlof'')
and a partial list of tables (a ``partlot''). When the main style has no
\chapter command but has the \section command,
you may use section level tables of contents (``secttoc'') at
the beginning of each section.
Note
]
: you cannot
use chapter level and section level table of contents in the same document.
This restriction is intented to avoid documents full of local
tables of contents, list of figures and tables at every sectionning level.
The current version of this style option is #17d.
Note
]
: the commands relative
to the part level are defined only if the style of your
document defines \part.
The commands relative
to the section level are defined only if the style of your
document does not define \chapter.
