.aux file for
each chapter, and to process that within the chapter. Simple usage
would be:
\usepackage{minitoc}
...
\begin{document}
...
\dominitoc \tableofcontents
\dominilof \listoffigures
...
\chapter{blah blah}
\minitoc \mtcskip \minilof
...
though a lot of elaborations are possible (for example, you don’t need
a \minitoc for every chapter).
Babel doesn’t know about minitoc, but
minitoc makes provision for other document languages than
English — a wide variety is available. Fortunately, the current
version of the hyperref package does know about
minitoc and treats \minitoc tables in the
same way as “real” tables of contents.
