What is Table of contents?
[[File:Table of Contents PANARCHIE published in 1860.JPG|thumb|A table of contents]] A '''table of contents''', or '''Contents''', is a list near the beginning of a [[book]]. It shows the parts of the book, from its beginning to its end. These parts can include an introduction or preface, [[Chapter (books)|chapter]] titles, notes, list of figures or [[Illustration|illustrations]], acknowledgments, an [[Appendix (books)|appendix]], and an [[Index (publishing)|index]]. After each part, a page number is given. This shows where that part begins. A line of dots sometimes goes from the part's name to the page number.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2010|title=contents, table of|url=https://www-oxfordreference-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/view/10.1093/acref/9780198606536.001.0001/acref-9780198606536-e-1175|access-date=March 12, 2023|website=Oxford Reference - The Oxford Companion to the Book}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2019|title=table of contents|url=https://www-oxfordreference-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/view/10.1093/acref/9780191863592.001.0001/acref-9780191863592-e-230|access-date=March 12, 2023|website=Oxford Reference - A Dictionary of Publishing}}</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Authority control}} [[Category:Book terminology]] {{stub}}
