Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to make \tableofcontents not show word Contents and how to introduce more dots

[lukaszskowron96]

Hi,

So as I said in the title that's what I want to achieve. To better explain what I want to do, here's a picture:



I added the extra "contents" below the one I want to delete using:

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Contents}

and now I have awkward two "contents" and that's why I want to delete the upper one.

By the way, I also want to have dots after "Contents" and after "1 Introduction", how can I do it?

I tried using tocloft package but it not necessarily works well with article class document and can't get it to work, any other propositions?

Hi,

by the way, one can get a faster answer if actual code is posted that I just need to modify a bit.

Now I wrote this code myself, and here you can see what you can change:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[toc=sectionentrywithdots]{scrartcl}
\begin{document}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Contents}
\makeatletter
\@starttoc{toc}
\makeatother
\clearpage
\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Introduction}
\end{document}

OK, it works, but I am not sure why you changed the document class. What is the difference between this you used and article?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

In this topic, there was no document class mentioned. So I chose just any one. And I chose scrartcl because I saw your header is in sans serif font, that's scrartcl style (KOMA-Script) but not article default style. I just had to guess.

Actually when I change the document class to article the extra dots disappear. Any idea why? I mean I see no difference between scrartcl and article so I can keep the scrartcl.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Yes, keep scrartcl, that's much more modern and offers a lot of options for customization.
