I am formatting my thesis with the book documentclass and have the following two issues:
This is what the table of contents currently looks like:
Contents
1 Introduction Page#
This is what the table of contents needs to look like:
Contents
1. Introduction............Page#
So I would like to put ldots after the chapter name and ideally, a dot after the enumerations, so 1. 2. 3. instead of 1 2 3. I'm just using the \tableofcontents tag. Any ideas how I can modify this? Help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you. I ended up using the tocloft package with the following commands:
Code: Select all
\renewcommand{\cftchapleader}{\cftdotfill{\cftsecdotsep}}
\renewcommand{\cftchapaftersnum}{.}
