Layout setup

The layout of a TOC is converter specific, which means that every converter can write a TOC in its very own way. Nevertheless, you can specify what general format shall be used. This is done by the format option.

By default, format is set to bullets, which means a TOC will be displayed as a list of bullet points.

    // this
    \LOCALTOC
  
    // is equivalent to
    \LOCALTOC{format=bullets}

Here the chapter entries are just text, without chapter numbers. Chapter numbers can be added by switching the format to numbers:

    \LOCALTOC{format=numbers}

which produces a bullet list with numbered entries. The numbers are hierarchical, contain sublevels and reflect the chapter numbers in the document. So, this example

    =Headline 1
  
    =Headline 2
  
    ==Headline 2.1
  
    \LOCALTOC{format=numbers}
  
    ===Headline 2.1.1.
  
    ===Headline 2.1.2.

would produce a bullet TOC with entries numbered 2.1.1. and 2.1.2.

Different to this, the format enumerated uses simple numbered lists, which for the example above produces a TOC like this:

    1. Headline 2.1.1.
    2. Headline 2.1.2.

An enumerated TOC list starts with number 1. Usually it contains no hierarchy. Every sublevel starts with 1 again.
