General ⇒ TOC appendix

[badguiz]

Hi all !

I've got a big issue in my report. Actually, I try to modify the TOC by replacing the standard :

1 Title 1.........#
2 Title 2.........#
A Title A.........#
etc.

bye

Chapter 1 Title 1............#
Chapter 2 Title 2............#
Appendix A Title A...........#
etc.

So I used the package \titletoc with the following code :

Code: Select all

\titlecontents{chapter}[6pc]{\addvspace{1pc}}
{\contentslabel[\chaptername~ \thecontentslabel]{6pc}}
{}{\hfill\contentspage}

The result is nearly fine, but I've got an issue with the appendix. Indeed, whereas the word "Chapter" appears well befor each chapter title, the word "Appendix" is replaced by "Chapter" in the appendix. I tried to redefine the command \appendix, but it did not work.

Anyone has an idea ?? Thks !

Hi,

I did some tests and the only solution I could find to your problem was to use a modified version of \titlecontents just before the appendices, as the following code suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{titletoc}

\titlecontents{chapter}[6pc]{\addvspace{1pc}}
  {\contentslabel[\chaptername~ \thecontentslabel]{6pc}}
  {}{\hfill\contentspage}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Dummy chapter}


\appendix
\titlecontents{chapter}[6pc]{\addvspace{1pc}}
  {\contentslabel[Appendix~ \thecontentslabel]{6pc}}
  {}{\hfill\contentspage}
\chapter{Dummy appendix}

\end{document}

Hi

Thanks for you answer but..... I tried it and

I use some other packages and I think there is a conflict because the modification of the \titlecontents is not taken into account. I already tried it but it doesn't do anything.
I don't have any other idea. I tried to redefine the command \appendix, I tried other solutions often proposed on forums but it does not work for me ! I also use a class given by my university (it is for the redaction of a thesis), but there is no support on the class and I don't see where the problem could come from.

Pffff

Thanks again !

You should have mentioned that you are not using a standard document class in the first place; the code I posted before works (at least on my system), but I used book. Perhaps if you post here, as an attachment, the .cls file that you are using, someone will have the time to spot the problem and offer you a solution.

Hi

Here is the class for my document. The command \chapter and its heading has been modified but I don't see how it affect the package titletoc.
Another thing with this class... the package \cite does not work so the citations do not appear in a "compressed" form like : [1,2,3,4,5] --> [1-5].
