 3.2.7 Table of Contents
 -----------------------
 
 "Tables of contents" are a type of delayed text having a tag (usually
 the page number) attached to each entry after a row of dots.  The table
 accumulates throughout the paper until printed, usually after the paper
 has ended.  Many macro packages provide the ability to have several
 tables of contents (e.g. a standard table of contents, a list of tables,
 etc).
