General ⇒ Adding "Chapter" and "Appendix" to ToC

[chelos]

I tested the code, and it works on my system (TeXLive 2007). Do you use exactly the same code?

I got it! For some reason, I still had \tableofcontents{} instead of just \tableofcontents.

Thanks a bunch phi ... I never would have figured this one out on my own. It's great to learn new tricks like this.

Hi

Thank you. i used following commands
\usepackage{tocloft}
\renewcommand{\cftchapfont}{\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\cftchappagefont}{\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\cftchapaftersnum}{:}
\renewcommand{\cftchapnumwidth}{7em}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*\updatechaptername{%
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\renewcommand*\protect\cftchappresnum{\@chapapp\ }}
}
\makeatother


i got result. but section and susection are not aligned properly. any one can help me to solve this.

my output is something like

chapter 1: Introduction........1
1.1 introduction................1
but i want
chapter 1: Introduction........1
.......... 1.1 intro...........1

Thank you

Hi,

you can use something like the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\renewcommand{\cftchappresnum}{\MakeUppercase{\chaptername}~}
\renewcommand{\cftchapaftersnumb}{\qquad}
\renewcommand{\cftchapfont}{\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\cftchappagefont}{\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\cftchapaftersnum}{:}
\setlength{\cftchapnumwidth}{7em}
\renewcommand{\cftsecindent}{6.1em}
\setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{3.3em}
\renewcommand{\cftsubsecindent}{6.1em}
\setlength{\cftsubsecnumwidth}{3.3em}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Test chapter one}
\section{Test section one one}
\section{Test section one two}
\subsection{Test subsection one two one}
\subsection{Test section one two two}
\section{Test section one three}

\end{document}

Refer to the tocloft documentation for further information.

Hi gmedina,

Thank you veru much for your help. the code worked nice for me. i hope we can move section little bit further. some thing like this

Chapter 1. Introduction
...............1.1 Introduction
please can you tell me suitable command to do this. your help is appreciated.

[gmedina]

All you have to do (in the code that I postd before) is to set the appropriate lengths in the second argument in these lines:

Code: Select all

...
\renewcommand{\cftsecindent}{6.1em}
...
\renewcommand{\cftsubsecindent}{6.1em}
...
