Takeaways

• 😀 The video teaches how to manually create a table of contents (sumário) in ABNT format, which helps readers navigate the document by providing page numbers for each section.
• 😀 An automatic table of contents creation method is also available in another video, which is faster, but the presenter believes the manual method is even quicker.
• 😀 The table of contents should start after the summary page and the first entry should be 'Introdução' (Introduction), with page numbers aligned properly using tabs.
• 😀 To avoid misalignment, the presenter uses the 'tabulation' feature to set page numbers aligned to the right, with dotted lines between the section name and page number.
• 😀 It's important to format the table of contents consistently, using uppercase for main sections (e.g., Introduction, Development) and a regular case for subtopics (e.g., Topic 1, Topic 2).
• 😀 Each section in the table of contents should correspond to a page in the document. For example, 'Introdução' might be on page 5, and 'Desenvolvimento' (Development) starts on page 6.
• 😀 Subsections should be numbered according to their parent section, such as 2.1 for Topic 1 under Development, 2.1.1 for the first subtopic, and so on.
• 😀 You can copy and paste the entries to avoid repetitive work. Simply change the section names and page numbers to fit your specific document.
• 😀 After Development, the table of contents includes 'Considerações Finais' (Final Considerations) and 'Referências' (References), with no page number for the references section, as it's a post-textual element.
• 😀 The presenter emphasizes that each section, like the Final Considerations and References, should be on a separate page, ensuring clarity and organization in the document.
