lazy.toc: Table of Contents and Other Lists

Description

Designates the printing of a table of contents, list of figures, or list of tables. Also provides functionality to manually edit the contents of these lists.

Usage

lazy.toc(type=c("contents", "figures", "tables"), add=FALSE, desc="",
    withPage=TRUE, sec_unit=c("chapter", "section", "subsection", "subsubsection", "part"))

Arguments

type
Type of list to be printed or edited.
add
Determines if the list is printed or if an entry is added to the list.
desc
Only used when add=TRUE. Gives the descriptive text of the item being added to the list.
withPage
Determines if the page number of the entry is printed in the table of contents. Only used when add=TRUE.
sec_unit
Specifies the format for the new entry. For instance, will the new entry in the table of contents appear as a chapter, section, or subsection. Used only when withPage=TRUE.

Value

  • Returns a string that designating that the table of contents is to be written, or an item to be added to a list. This has no effect for HTML documents.

Details

The level of detail a table of contents maintains is determined by the counter tocdepth. In most cases, it is set to 3, giving chapter, section, and subsection. To include subsubsections, it would be necessary to include lazy.counter("tocdepth", value=4, fn="set"). Use value=5 to include paragraphs, and so forth.

Examples

Run this code
lazy.toc()
lazy.toc("figures")
lazy.toc("tables", TRUE, "A brief description of the table")
lazy.toc("contents", TRUE, "Subsection 3", sec_unit="subsection")
