Unusual TOC

Unusual TOC

[Maurí­cio]

Hi,

I'm typesetting a book where prose and verse alternate in
chapters, i.e., you have one chapter of prose, one of verse, one
of prose etc.

I would like to generate a TOC for that book, but chapters have no
name or numbers. I was told by the author that the usual thing to
do is to take the first few words of each chapter and use those in
the index.

I know how to do that using a few small tricks, but I would like
to know if there's a standard way to do that. Are you aware of
any?

Thanks,
Maurício
