Getting subsection to list in table of contents in LaTeX

Question

I made a table of contents using \tableofcontents Each section is made using \section yet when I do \subsection it is not listed in the table. How do I get it to list there? Thanks.

Answer 1

Add:

\setcounter{tocdepth}{5}

to the preamble.

Answer 2

Which document class are you using? I just tested it for article, and it works fine. In any case, try using this in the preamble:

\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}

Increase 2 if you want to list subsubsection, etc.
