List of Tables

What?

A list of tables identifies all the tables that are used in the current document. Each table is printed with its number, caption and a reference to the page where it is located.

How?

To add a list of tables, add the following lines to the backmatter of your main document (e.g., main.tex):

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listtablename}
\listoftables

The \listoftables command creates the list of tables, whereas \addcontentsline places an entry for the list of tables in your table of contents.

Where?

The list of tables is usually placed in the back of your document, after the last chapter or the appendices but before the bibliography. Add it after the command \backmatter to ensure that it is not treated as a regular chapter or an appendix in terms of chapter headings.

Package Information

The command \listoftables is a LaTeX core command and does not require any packages.
