Document Classes ⇒ Change TOC Heading

[nettel]

im using \usepackage{titletoc} to generate table of contents and my document class is "article". This gives a default heading for the toc as "Contents". I want to change this heading to "Table of Contents" instead. How can i do this? Sample code attached.

cheers

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{titletoc}

\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\tableofcontents
\end{center}
\section{Introduction}\label{intro}
\subsection{Background}
\end{document}

You have to redefine the internal name of the ToC.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}

This solution is independent of titletoc or any other package that modifies the ToC.

Thanks for the reply worked a treat.

I have a similar problem. But I can't get the \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Indholdsfortegnelse} to work. I am using [danish]{babel}.

I have the same problem with the glossary.

In the glossary I have a problem with the header, I get the word 'gloseliste' in the header of the first page of the glossary and on all the following pages. I simply want it to disappear.

When using the babel, renaming works slightly different.

Code: Select all

\addto{\captionsdanish}{%
  \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Indholdsfortegnelse}
}

Other redefinitions go there in the same way.

It is necessary to know the way you create your glossary. If you do that with the glossaries package, there is an important hint in Section 8 (Multilingual support, p. 122ff) of its manual. For the second issue it would be good to have a minimal working example (MWE) because it seems that you set the headers manually at this point. A solution could be to use the \markboth command.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks I got the TOC headers now.

I use the glossary package

Code: Select all

\usepackage{glossary
\makeglossary 
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\newpage
\input{forord.tex}
\input{indledning.tex}
\newpage
\printglossary
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Ordliste}
\end{document}

I haven't defined any markboth yet.

And ad MWE...

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{article} 
\usepackage[danish]{babel}
\usepackage{glossary}
\makeglossary
\addto{\captionsdanish}{%
  \renewcommand{\glossaryname}{Ordliste}
}
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\begin{document}
An example of something written bla bla bla \glossary{name={test}, description={test}}
\newpage
\printglossary
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Ordliste}
\newpage
And even more... bla bla
\end{document}
