+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | putincontents | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Abbreviation: ã|\picnã% Parameters: ã|text and markupã% ã|Description:ã% Major headings and the first two levels of subheadings are automatically placed in a table of contents (if one is called). Any heading, text, or markup can be put in the table of contents using the \putincontents markup (abbreviated \pic). This markup has one parameter, but that parameter can be either markup to manipulate the table of contents itself or the text, usually a heading, to be put in the contents. Note that in the example the page number and dot leadering to separate it from the text were both included. There are three levels of contents: the first (\pic1) puts text and/or markup into the primary table of contents; \pic2 puts text and/or markup into the list of figures; \pic3 puts text and/or markup into the list of tables. Refer to the example on the next page. ã|Example:ã% To create an Abstract that conforms to the Washington State University graduate school's thesis requirements and print the abstract title in the table of contents, enter: \newpage \putincontents1{ABSTRACT\leader\pagenumber\par} \doublespace \vsk{6\bl} \centerlinesbegin \bd EFFECTIVENESS OF PRISM TRAINING ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF READING AT THE FIFTH GRADE LEVEL ABSTRACT \singlespace \vs{2\bl} \rm by Ray Elmer Brown, Ph.D. Washington State University, 1979 \vs{1\bl} \centerlinesend \nin Chairman: Lloyd B. Johnson \vs{1\bl} The text of the abstract follows at this point . . . \pic2{LIST OF FIGURES\leader vi} \pic3{LIST OF TABLES\leader viii} \setpagenumber{0} \chapter{Introduction} (Note, single spacing will return to double spacing after the \centerlinesend markup, since it acts as a delimiter with \centerlinesbegin.) The abstract would print as: +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | iv | | | | | | EFFECTIVENESS OF PRISM TRAINING | | ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF READING | | AT THE FIFTH GRADE LEVEL | | ABSTRACT | | | | | | by Ray Elmer Brown, Ph.D. | | Washington State University, 1979 | | | | Chairman: Lloyd B.

This is the only way to have these placed into the table of contents.
