Page Layout ⇒ How to add chapter headings to LOT / LOF

[greybadger]

Hi,

I'd like my LoT and LoF layout to be similar to the ToC, such that I get a boldfaced line, with the chapter number and title (I'd rather not have the page number there) displayed before the relevant entries.

Is this possible? I'm already using the toclof package to fix some layout issues, but I can't see anything in the documentation to do that...

Cheers!

Hi,

perhaps post a minimal working example showing how you are generating the toc now, using tocloft etc.

Sure, apologies. The following is a cut-down version of my document with all relevant formatting.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside,openright]{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[a4paper,top=3.1cm,bottom=2.5cm,inner=4.0cm,outer=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}

% Set TOC / LOT / LOF number spacing
\usepackage{tocloft}
\setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{2.5em}
\setlength{\cftsubsecnumwidth}{2.8em}
\setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{2.6em}
\setlength{\cfttabnumwidth}{2.6em}

% Set chapter title format
\titleformat{\chapter}{\bf\huge}{\thechapter .}{1em}{}

% Set page header / footer style
\pagestyle{fancy} 
\headheight 13.59999pt
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{#1}{}} 
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection\ #1}} 
\fancyhf{} 
\fancyhead[LO]{\bfseries\rightmark} 
\fancyhead[RE]{\bfseries\leftmark} 
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{
\fancyhead{} 
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
} 

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\cleardoublepage
\listoffigures
\cleardoublepage
\listoftables
\cleardoublepage

\chapter{A chapter}
\section{First section}
\subsection{The figure}
This is a chapter with one figure and a table.
\begin{figure}[htbp]
   FIGURE HERE
  \caption{First figure}
\end{figure}
\begin{table}[htbp]
   TABLE HERE
  \caption{First table}
\end{table}

\chapter{Another chapter}
\section{First section}
\subsection{The table}
This is a chapter with one table and a figure.
\begin{table}[htbp]
   TABLE HERE
  \caption{First table}
\end{table}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
   FIGURE HERE
  \caption{First figure}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

I just use the tocloft package to change the number spacing as I have double-digit count figures, so the numbering was running into the captions.

So what I'd like is for the LoT / LoF to follow the same format as the ToC. Looking at it, it would be best if the chapter headings did have page numbers in the LoT / LoF too.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

use some \addcontentsline commands; in your example:

Code: Select all

...
\chapter{A chapter}
\addcontentsline{lof}{chapter}{A chapter}
\addcontentsline{lot}{chapter}{A chapter}
(chapter contents)
...
\chapter{Another chapter}
\addcontentsline{lof}{chapter}{Another chapter}
\addcontentsline{lot}{chapter}{Another chapter}
(chapter contents)
....

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. This is nearly there... It's now just lacking the chapter number before the chapter title in the LoT / LoF entries. Is there any way to force those to be displayed like the would in the ToC?

Thanks.

Add this to the preamble of your document:

Code: Select all

\newcommand\addloflot[1]{%
  \addcontentsline{lof}{chapter}{\protect\makebox[1.4em][l]{\thechapter}#1}
  \addcontentsline{lot}{chapter}{\protect\makebox[1.4em][l]{\thechapter}#1}}

And use the new command in the following way:

Code: Select all

...
\chapter{A chapter}
\addloflot{A chapter}
(chapter contents)
...
\chapter{Another chapter}
\addloflot{Another chapter}
(chapter contents)
...
