Is there any LaTeX template for making simple book summaries? I just want to have the title (summary of book x), chapters, subchapters, and to enumerate the definitions/theorems/lemmas depending on the chapter or subchapter, for example in section 1.2.3 the first definition to be Definition 1.2.3.1 and the second Definition 1.2.3.2 etc, and to be able to insert pictures or diagrams.

Thanks in advance

Table of Contents with List of Definitions, List of Figures? Is that what you mean? – Peter Grill May 2 '12 at 0:28
I just want a simple document having just a title, chapters, subchapters and to have numbered definitions and theorems. I don't want it to have Table of Contents with List of Definitions nor List of Figures, etc. – aortizmena May 2 '12 at 3:52
Your description still sounds a lot like a table of contents. As it is usually easier to show rather than describe, I'd recommend that you compose a a fully compilable MWE and show exactly what the desired output is. You can use the lipsum package to insert dummy text. – Peter Grill May 2 '12 at 4:02
You can use this to get you started: \documentclass{book} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \chapter{First Chapter} \lipsum[1] \section{First section} \lipsum[2] \end{document}, just add the code to insert a few definitions, and then show what the desired output is. – Peter Grill May 2 '12 at 4:03
@aortizmena But perhaps you could add everything you need to the table of contents – i.e., use the table of contents to reprint the headings and modify the definition and theorem environments so they print the whole thing into the TOC too, under the right section. – ienissei May 2 '12 at 7:16
