Table of Contents Entries
The Grad School requires a table of contents (ToC), a list of figures
(LoF), and a list of tables (LoT) in your thesis. LaTeX will
automatically produce all of these. The ToC entries come from all of
your "\chapter", "\section",
"\subsection", etc. commands. The LoF and LoT come from the
"\caption" commands in the figure and table environments.
All of these commands have an optional "table of contents
entry" field.
- \chapter, \section, etc. --- the normal title you give these
will probably be OK for the ToC, however, if you want you can
specify a ToC entry by: "\chapter[ToC entry]{actual chapter
title to appear in the document}"
- \caption --- same thing as the sectioning commands:
"\caption[LoF/T entry]{actual caption to appear with the
figure/table}"
Caveat for deluxetables: there is no way to specify a LoT entry
for a deluxetable! Deluxetable uses the \tablecaption command, and
whatever you put in there as the table title will appear as the LoT
entry --- if this offends you, then just use the table and tabular
environment instead of deluxetable. Also, if your deluxetable extends
on to multiple pages, it will add an entry into the LoT for
each page the table falls on (which can be exceedingly
obnoxious) --- you will probably want to use longtable if you have tables that cover
multiple pages.
