changing tocdepth middle of document

[nojb]

Hello,

Is there a way to change the \tocdepth in the middle of a document?
I'm using memoir.

Thanks!

I want sections to be listed for chapters in the toc, but not for
appendices, even though I want
sections in the appendices to be numbered. So I would like to have
\tocdepth=1 for the chapters
and \tocdepth=0 for appendices.

Thanks!

Ok. This makes perfect sense. You didn't try the obvious? :-)

\documentclass{memoir}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{A chapter}
\section{A section}
\subsection{A subsection}
\chapter{Another chapter}
\section{Another section}
\appendix
\settocdepth{chapter}
\chapter{An appendix}
\section{An appendix section}
\subsection{An appendix subsection}
\end{document}

Thanks! I had tried with \renewcommand{\tocdepth} and it wasn't
working.

Best,

Gag! That is \setcounter{tocdepth}{0}

For those not using memoir, the answer includes a trick:
the setting is put in the toc.

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{0}}

[Lars Madsen]

well even easier in memoir

\settocdepth{section-name}

say you want to remove sections from the toc from some point. Just add

\settocdepth{chapter}

at that point in the text, this will automatically add the change to the
toc.

I think \setcounter does not require \protection... however.
Am I wrong ?

Sorray Donald, I misread your post

Yes:
* \setcounter can be fragile, e.g. package calc redefines \setcounter.
* If the counter exists, then \c@<counter name> is written
into the .aux file. But <counter name> might contain
characters with other catcode than letter (11).
Examples:
binomexp.sty: \newcounter{binomexp@variable1}
rjlpshap.sty: \newcounter{rjlpshap@ctr2}
