This is useful when you have added the bibliography to the toc, but have appendecies following the bibliography and want the page numbers on them to be correct, as I found out recently. Tony

Nice trick. [I have Lamports book and the LaTeX Companion on order, so I should be asking fewer questions in the future. Also, I will be try to mention LyX/LaTeX in the Preface somewhere.] However, I couldn't figure out how to get put the Latex inline code in the bibliography. I can put it before the bibliography starts, but that doesn't help because it shows the wrong page number. I can put it at the end of the bibliography, but that doesn't work if the bibliography is more than one page in length. While my original problem was LaTeX-related, this may be LyX-specific. My solution was to put \addcontentsline...{} as TeX-Style just before the first bibliographic entry, so it reads: [1]\addcontentsline...{}Author, Title ^ TeX-style here Seems like that is the solution. -- Bruce Momjian| http://www.op.net/~candle [EMAIL PROTECTED]| (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup.| Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026

I think I can help with the magic... but my server today doesn't working properly... I hope this msg will go to his destination. Tables of contents entries are generated only by the sectioning commands. In order to add a new entry you should type in Tex mode the following command: \addcontentsline{toc}{sec_unit}{entry} where sec_unit is chapter, section... as you want the appearance in the toc and entry is Preface, Bibliography, Goofy or anything else! Put the command just after the right heading in your document (but check the page number in the toc... in the past were reported some problems of a wrong page number... so you should adjust the position of the command}. Hope this help. Bye Alessandro

Lars> I am sure somebody else will provide the needed magic. The best solution (for the preface anyway) is to add \frontmatter at the beginning of the document \mainmatter when serious things begin, and \backmatter before bibliography and such stuff. This will not give you correct result for bibliography, so you will have to find out what the magic is, after all... JMarc

Preface/Bibliography missing from TOC
Can someone suggest why an un-numbered Chapter called "Preface", and my Bibliography section do not appear in the table of contents(TOC)? They don't appear in the TOC popup box, nor do they appear in the printed TOC pages. There appear as pages in the printout, just not in the TOC. Any ideas? I am starting a book using LyX 1.04.
