Page Layout ⇒ Memoir Table of Contents Formatting

[twesslen]

Hello there. I am trying to format a table of contents as per my university formatting guidelines and am almost there. I need to add a blank entry (not referencing anything, as a contents header if you will) and additionally, add a period after the chapter number in the table of contents only, not in the actual chapter printing within the body of my document. See the attached images for what I mean.

I have read the memoir documentation and I have to admit that I'm overwhelmed. If anyone can direct me towards what I should do that would be great.

The attached files contain a MWE of the current state of my project. See the previous post for an example of what I want to do.

Ok, I fixed one of the problems by placing

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\cftchapteraftersnum}{.}

in the style file. Now I just need to figure out how to add a dummy line (header) in the toc. Anyone have any advice?

Try something like:

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\noindent{Chapter}\par}

Right before:

Code: Select all

\chapter{Introduction}

Thank you for your help. This works well. Additionally, I might add that to center the chapter numbers under the pseudo "Chapter" entry I used

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\cftchaptername}{\hspace{1.5em}}

which put the

1. Introduction

over to the right a bit.
