Defining Table of Contents Entries
The best way to generate a table of contents is to apply the predefined heading paragraph styles, such as "Heading 1", to the paragraphs that you want to include in your table of contents. You can also use custom paragraph styles, so long as you assign them one of the predefined outline levels.
To use a custom paragraph style as a table of contents entry:
-
Choose and click the Numbering tab.
-
Select the paragraph style that you want to include in your table of contents in the \<emph\>Paragraph Style\</emph\> box.
-
In the \<emph\>Level\</emph\> list, click the hierarchical level that you want to apply the paragraph style to.
-
Click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>. You can now apply the style to headings in your document and include them in your table of contents.
LibreOffice creates the table of contents entries based on the outline level of the paragraph style and the paragraph contents. If the paragraph is empty, it will not be included in the table of contents. To force the empty paragraph to be listed in the table of contents, manually add a space or a non breaking space to the paragraph. Spaces added in the After text box of the Numbering tab in the Chapter Numbering dialog will not work for this purpose, since they are part of the paragraph numbering, not the paragraph contents.
