I don't know why my table of contents doesn't appear in my table of contents!. I am writing:

\documentclass[10pt,a5paper,landscape]{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[a5paper,vmargin={5mm,2mm},hmargin={5mm,5mm}]{geometry}
\usepackage[linktocpage]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{backref, colorlinks=true}
\title{ Questions }
\author{Alejandro}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents

What I am doing wrong?, or how could the numbering starts in chapter 1. Because now, my chapter 1 seems in page 2 in toc but actually it is the page 6.

This is how it looks

But my chapter 1 is on page 6 not page 2

    Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem.

  • No real minimal example after some delay. Without more information, this question therefore cannot be answered fully. I'm closing.

When the page numbering is messed up with respect to the actual location of the table of contents, I've found that it sometimes helps to issue the command \clearpage -- or \cleardoublepage, if you're using a two-sided layout -- right before issuing the command \tableofcontents.

\tableofcontents
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\chapter{First}
...

The first two \pagenumbering commands are to keep hyperref happy.

  • Thanks @egreg just to be clear, when you wrote \pagenumbering{Alph} I should write Alph?, because I did it and it seems not to work :(

  • @Alejandro: pagenumering sets the counter page to 0.

  • @Alejandro What do you mean? With my code, Chapter 1 starts at page 1 and the ToC reflects it. I don't understand what you mean by "my chapter 1 is on page 6". Please, add something to your code so we can get a feeling about what's going wrong.
