Minitoc and memoir

Question

I read this question about minitoc but I can't make it work with memoir. Is there an known incompatibility between these two ?

Is it somehow possible to make it work ?

Answer 1

There are compatibility problems between minitoc and memoir.

To work it out, I recommend to update minitoc to the latest version. Further check out the section 2.22 Use with the memoir class in the current minitoc documentation. There's even a package mtcpatchmem.sty which patches the memoir class to make both work together. The minitoc documentation tells more.

Answer 2

You can replicate most (all?) of the functionality of minitoc with the titletoc package, which is I think is compatible with memoir. Here's a basic example:

\documentclass[oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{A chapter}
  \startcontents[chapters]
  \printcontents[chapters]{}{1}{}

  \section{Section}
    \lipsum[1]  
  \section{Section 2}
    \lipsum

\chapter{Second chapter}
  \startcontents[chapters]
  \printcontents[chapters]{}{1}{}

  \section{Section}
    \lipsum[2]
  \section{Another section}
    \lipsum
\end{document}
