Index will not show up in table of contents

Question

I am new to LaTeX and still on the steep learning curve. I am writing some documentation for a school project which has a bibliography and an index, using ShareLaTeX. I am having difficulty getting the index to show in the table of contents. This bare-bones code sample illustrates my problem.

\documentclass[a4paper]{report}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{makeidx}

\makeindex
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\clearpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage}

\chapter{Introduction}
Some random \index{random} text \index{stuff!text} about fact \cite{fact}.
\clearpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage}

\chapter{Main}
\lipsum[6]
\clearpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage}

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
\begin{thebibliography}{9}
    \bibitem{fact}
    Factual stuff,
    \emph{The types of Facts}. \\
    XXXX, Publisher
    \end{thebibliography}
\clearpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage} %Line 1

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Index} %Line 2
\printindex
\clearpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage}

\end{document}

If I change Line 1 to \clearpage{\pagestyle{empty}} then the index shows up in the table of contents, however I want to ensure the index starts on an odd page. I have tried using the hyperref package but doing this with the package:

\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Index}
\printindex
\clearpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage}

seems to have no effect. I've been looking all over the internet for an answer and I haven't found it. I would appreciate any help and if you need more info please let me know I will do my best :-)

Answer 1

To have chapters start on odd pages, you can add twoside,openright to the options of the class. This will change the layout to fit twosided printing, and cause all chapters to start on a right/recto/odd pages.

To add bibliography and index to the ToC, you can add

\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}

to the preamble. nottoc means that the ToC itself does not end up in the ToC.

Also, I just noticed that the index does not seem to start on an odd page even with twoside,openright, add a \cleardoublepage just before \printindex to take care of that. Complete code example:

\documentclass[a4paper,openright,twoside]{report}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}

\makeindex
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents


\chapter{Introduction}
Some random \index{random} text \index{stuff!text} about fact \cite{fact}.


\chapter{Main}
\lipsum[6]



\begin{thebibliography}{9}
    \bibitem{fact}
    Factual stuff,
    \emph{The types of Facts}. \\
    XXXX, Publisher
    \end{thebibliography}

\cleardoublepage\printindex


\end{document}

Answer 2

Add toc request when you make the index:

\makeindex[columns=3, title=Alphabetical Index, intoc]
