%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% minitoc.bug
There is a list of problems and frequently asked questions about
minitoc.sty. If your version is < 27, please upgrade.
(1)  How avoid a page break near the rules before and after
     the minitoc?
     > This problem seemed solved since version #8,
     > but version #12 adds better fixes.
(2)  How about impementing others layouts for the minitoc?
(3)  \\ in a contents line makes an error.
     > Use \protect\linebreak
(4)  If you reorder chapters, havoc follows... minitocs going in wrong
     chapters.
     > the best way seems to make one run with the mtcoff
       option in place of the minitoc option, then restore
       the minitoc option and re-execute LaTeX three times
       (yes, it is time consuming...). The mtcoff option
       cleans the auxiliary files from spurious commands
       added by minitoc.
(5)  Compatible with toch.sty, but minitoc option must come
     AFTER toch option (is it a bug or a ``feature'' ?).
(6)  If you have an operating system which tolerates only
     short file name extensions (of 3 characters, like MS-DOS),
     you must edit minitoc.sty: find the line containing
     ``%\def\SHORTEXT'' and remove the leading percent sign.
     No other modification is needed: all is automatic!
(7)  Do not cheat with the ``chapter'' counter, i.e. do not
     write things like \setcounter{chapter}{6}. The mechanism
     would be broken. It is better to add \chapter commands,
     to create empty (but numbered in a legal way) chapters.
     Since version #10, minitoc.sty works with appendices.
(8)  minitoc.sty is restricted to document styles which define
     chapters in the standard way, like `book' and `report'.
     Do not ask me to make minitocs for sections in articles.
     There are ``parttocs'' if the document style defines
     the \part command.
(9)  Some users have failed to make minitoc to work. They got
     a message like:
       Undefined command ... \@inputcheck ...
     or:
       Undefined command ... \reset@font ...
     The \reset@font command has been added to latex.tex
     on 29 September 1991 and the \@inputcheck command 
     on 18 March 1992 and this version of latex.tex has been
     released on 25 March 1992. If you have this message, you
     have an old version of latex.tex. Get a recent one from
     the archives and regenerate a latex format via initex.
(10) Some demanding users want to have minilof, minilot and
     minibbl. First, minibbl is an other problem, strongly
     related to the BibTeX's dealing with .aux files. Look
     at chapterbib.sty. To make `minilof' (minilot is the
     same problem), we could apply the same method as for
     minitoc, but we need to add marks in the .lof (or .lot)
     file. It should be possible to do from minitoc.sty, but
     long to test. Version #13 implements basic minilofs
     and minilots. Minibbls are not the aim of this option file.
(11) This option creates a lot of auxiliary files and some users
     argue that it is too many. A deep redesign would be
     necessary to avoid that. Using only one big auxiliary file
     (or one for all minitocs, one for all minilofs, ...)
     would make the reading of such file very slow, and it must
     be read for each \minixxx macro!
(12) How to do minitocs (minilofs and minilots) at levels other
     than chapter? Here also, some redesign needed.
     From version #15, there are parttocs, partlofs and
     partlots for the part level in book-like documents.
(13) The more recent version of latex-2e adds a \protect
     before \contentsline in the .toc, .lof and .lof
     files. Minitoc version #17 attempts to be compatible
     with latex-2e and latex-2.09. This will be the LAST
     version usable with latex-2.09. Versions #18 and later are
     latex-2e specific.
(14) From version #23, works with document classes resetting
     chapter (or section) number at each part.
