Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
etoc
package.
Version: 1.2f 2026-11-11
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Completely customisable TOCs
Announcement text:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this release, etoc becomes partly compatible with tagging.
This should work well for documents using etoc only for its
\localtableofcontents. Custom user line styles done via
\etocsetlinestyle may work as is in simple cases, or be made to
work via usage of some dedicated macros provided by the package,
but some situations are simply not solvable. To say it simply :
the PDF and LaTeX views of what a TOC is are simply too archaic
and restrictive to etoc, which flies high above such cages. For
details, check the dedicated section in the PDF documentation of
the package.
An unrelated improvement is that \etocsetlocal.top now accepts
also numeric arguments.
