I was asked to have my Introduction and Summary section uncounted. However, if I use \section* it doesn't appear in the Table of Contents which is undesired.

EDIT: The proposed solution doesn't work: enter image description here

I have no idea what the 'List of figures' stands for in there.

I have implemented it just like this:

\tableofcontents
\addcontentsline{toc}{Úvod}{\vspace{10pt}}
\rule[0pt]{0mm}{10pt}

Also the compilator tells me:

! Missing \endcsname inserted.

EDIT2: Of course it doesn't work. I am an idiot. Should be:

\tableofcontents
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Úvod\vspace{0pt}}
\rule[0pt]{0mm}{10pt}

  • Have you followed the link ini the first comment above? It should point you to the solution. What you see in the answer is rubbish at the moment, to be honest.

If I understood you correctly then this is what you need:

% not needed for lof b/ it produces its own heading, but for your summary:
%\section*{List of Figures}
% here just skip this and add your text:
\listoffigures
% this adds the line to your toc:
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{List of Figures\vspace{0pt}}
% \rule[Offset]{width}{height} %  play around to meet your needs:
\rule[0pt]{0mm}{10pt}

Good luck. (Sorry for the editing but my code was not displayed correctly)

    This will add the page number of the very last page of the list in the toc.

    @MaK: There's no indication that the LoF should be added to the ToC (if this would be the case, I would use tocbibind package however)

    @MaK: Actually I don't care whether you use \Roman, \roman, Klingon or whatever numbers for your ToC ;-)

    @MaK Just a suggestion, maybe the answer would be clearer if it would not introduce unnecessary code, e.g. \section*{Summary} \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Summary} would imho be sufficient. Otherwise someone will copy&paste it without thinking and we will see a question à la "why is the spacing after my \section*{} wrong?"

    Since the question is asking to get Introduction as an unnumbered section into the toc, which isn't answered in this answer (it generates confusion), but is answered in the FAQ, i suggest to remove this answer. It is completely misleading.
