Hello,

Let me clarify what you want: do you mean that, you want to exclude a chapter / section / subsection from the automatically generated Table of Contents?

Best,
Frank


Admitting that this is the thing Richard wants, these definitions seem to do it (I did not find a default procedure for this in the TeXmacs online help pages)

<assign|prologue|<macro|<principal-section**|<prologue-text>>>>

<assign|principal-section**|<macro|title|<if|<sectional-short-style>|<section**|<arg|title>>|<chapter**|<arg|title>>>>>

<assign|chapter**|<macro|title|<assign|chapter-numbered|false><assign|chapter-prefix|<macro|>><compound|chapter-clean><compound|chapter-header|<arg|title>><compound|chapter-unnumbered-title|<arg|title>>>>

<assign|section**|<macro|title|<assign|section-numbered|false><assign|section-prefix|<macro|>><compound|section-clean><compound|section-header|<arg|title>><compound|section-toc|<arg|title>><compound|section-unnumbered-title|<arg|title>>>>

where I defined chapter** and section** by removing the macros <compound|section-toc|<arg|title>> from the definitions of chapter* and section*

I hope that it helps.

Said this, I am interested in knowing whether the suggestions for the vertical spaces around "enunciation" environments (e.g. theorems) worked.

Hello TeXmacs users,


my publisher asked me if it is possible to remove the ‘prologue’ item in the table of contents.


The structure of my book is :

- Prologue

- Conventions

- Table of contents

- Chapter 1, etc.


so, in the table of contents we can read :

          Prologue  ……………..…5


1) Is there a simple way to remove it ?

2) Do you think that it is a good idea to remove it ?

I have a lot of great books with the same thing : the prologue is before the table and the table mentions it. I don’t think that this way of doing it is a bad way… I am wondering...




Thank you for reading,

Richard
