Hi Everyone,
I need some urgent help with my dissertation formatting for the TOC which I am just not able to figure out and have a submission deadline to get my PhD.
I have manually created the TOC (I had to), and need to make the following changes in it:
1. Triple space from title for List of Figures
2. Have double space between each entry EXCEPT multi-line titles.
3. Indent second line if title has two lines or more.
I have tried everything and looked everywhere, but just can't figure this out. I would SERIOUSLY appreciate any help with this asap.
I am attaching the tex code. I work on Overleaf.
