There's no technical reason. And I guess it's a valuable feature request, as I have no real argument for the current state of things, except these poor ones: - It's a french usage to put the TOC at the end, and eventually a short summary after a heading. - The XT macro is reliable and simple to code, while the S* ones need three passes and are sensible to glitches. I'm motivated to work on that, though, I can't know yet when I'll have time for it. > > There are also odd behaviours with the page number not being right > > aligned after hyphenated words.

For instance, in the revised PDF, the second line of the summary « Before advancing my own arguments », the page number is concatenated with the sentence. > >> General: The toc is interlinked but clicking on a xref-item doesn't > >> bring me to the item. > > It will work when using neatpost and ps2pdf.

If not at the end of this week, it will be next week. Cheers, Pierre-Jean.
