package.
Version number: 1.08j 2017-09-21
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Completely customisable TOCs
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For some reason etoclink, contrarily to etocname etc... did not
contain the link destination in already expanded form, hence was
unusable if the line style closed a group (typically from a & in a
tabular), even if issuing etocglobaldefs, contrarily to the
fragile macro etocthelink. Now etoclink is but the robust
variant of the latter.
Some bugs in core code getting back to the very early days were
fixed, they could surface under relatively rare conditions such as
the linktoc=page option of hyperref.
