General ⇒ [toc] how to add Chapter before 1.introduction in toc

[chao]

by default the toc formed like this

NameOf1stChapter
1. Introduction..................1
1.1 xxx.............................2

How to change it to

CHAPTER 1--NameOf1stChapter...........1
1. Introduction.........................................1
...

I used
\renewcommand{\cftchappresnum}{CHAPTER }
However, it overlaps with the NameOf1stChapter

Thanks a lot

Hi chao,

perhaps try like this, untested:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\cftchappresnum{\MakeUppercase{\chapapp}~}
\settowidth{\cftchapnumwidth}{\cftchappresnum}
\renewcommand{\cftchapaftersnumb}{\qquad}
...
% perhaps for the appendix:
\addtocontents{toc}{%
\protect\renewcommand*\protect\cftchappresnum{\MakeUppercase{\appendixname}~}}
\appendix
...

[chao]

it works.
I only changed \chapapp to "chapter"

a following question is how to add "...." to link the "chapter 1. introduction" to page number "1" in toc?

Hi chao,

write

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\cftchapdotsep{\cftdotsep}
