[XeTeX] Multi Column Table of Contents

[Erwin Ochsenmeier]

Thanks for the suggestion,

multitoc does not seem to work, even with ifthen and multicols loaded. I tried in XeTeX and plain Latex, the TOC is blank, unless I am missing something from the pdf instructions.

There does seem to be a problem with memoir and multicols on top of it. Even with begin{multicols} …, memoir produces a TOC in a single column on a separate page. 

Anyway, what I'd really like to do is to have a TOC in twocolumn in a twocolumn document and without starting a new page.

Of course, I don't know whether I should post this here or on the Tex thread.

Howdy,

Maybe the multitoc package will do the job for you?

Good Luck,
