Page Layout ⇒ Trouble Customizing the ToC

[cjohnson]

Hi. I'm using the memoir document class (if that matters) and can't seem to custom the table of contents. One thing I'd like to do is remove the dots between headings and page numbers, but nothing seems to work. After looking around online, and in the memoir manual, I put this in my preamble:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@dotsep}{1000}
\makeatother

But after running xelatex (twice) the dots are still there. Any ideas? Many thanks!

Hi cjohnson,

welcome to the board!
You could use

Code: Select all

\let\cftdotsep\cftnodots

Or more LaTeX-like

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\cftdotsep}{\cftnodots}

Well, that did it! Thanks!

Any ideas why my command wasn't working, though? I pulled it from page 193 of the memoir manual, and was getting really frustrated that it didn't want to work.

\@dotsep is used by standard LaTeX, \cftdotsep is used by tocloft and by the memoir class.

Ah, alright. Now, I'm pulling an example from the tocloft manual:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\cfttoctitlefont}{\hfill\Large\itshape}

But then I get "\cfttoctitlefont Undefined". Any ideas? Thanks again!

But then I get "\cfttoctitlefont Undefined".

Obviously that feature is not supported by the memoir class.

Ah, okay. I was under the impression that memoir completely emulated tocloft.
