\nofiles
¶Synopsis:
\nofiles
Prevent LaTeX from writing any auxiliary files. The only output will be the .log and .pdf (or .dvi) files. This command must go in the preamble.
Because of the \nofiles
command this example will not produce a
.toc file.
\documentclass{book} \nofiles \begin{document} \tableofcontents\newpage \chapter{...} ...
LaTeX will not erase any existing auxiliary files, so if you insert
the \nofiles
command after you have run the file and gotten
a .toc then the table of contents page will continue to show
the old information.
