General ⇒ TOC, LOF, LOT Page Layot

[cwillis]

Hello,

My Table of Contents, List of Figures and List of Tables pages are all centered (or nearly centered) in the middle of the page. I would like them to start at the top of the page at the same height as my chapter headings. How can I do this?

Thank you,
Chris

Hi Chris,

welcome to the board!
A correct answer to this question depends on the document class used. Some classes use \chapter* internally for toc, lof and lot, it should produce similar spacing like \chapter. Did you change \chapter or \@makechapterhead, or do you use titlesec?
Perhaps have a look at the tocloft package, it's designed for the customization of toc, lof etc.

Stefan,

Thank you for the quick reply. I am using the document class. To create my toc, lof, lot, I use \tableofcontents, \listoffigures and \listoftables. I apologize, I stated Chapter headings but meant section headings. I would like my Table of Contents, LOF and LOT to be formatted, as far as vertical spacing is concerned, the same as my section headings.

I currently use the tocloft package to change the names of the toc, lof and lot but have been unable to find in the documentation a way to change the vertical page layout. I am rather new to latex and much of the documentation is lost on me.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Chris,

try the package option titles:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}
