[OS X TeX] How to customise the TOC with the list of page numbers on the left side

[Vincent Verfaille]

Hi Pierfranco,

Actually, if you take a look at the 'confproc' package, you can still  
the lines of code related to the "tocnumleft" option, and will get an  
example of use of titletoc. And it is also explained in the package  
documentation.

best,

Vincent
