Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ tocloft | Appendix Chapters typeset as Sections in ToC

[user7091]

I am very new to LaTeX and still more in a try and error phase than on a real understanding level.

My goal is to have all appendices - which are chapters and I would like to keep it that way - to appear in the TOC as sections, under a 'chapter' appendices.

Here is what I tried, using the tocloft package

Code: Select all

\newpage\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}
\appendix

\setlength{\cftchapindent}{\cftsecindent}
\renewcommand{\cftchapfont}{\cftsecfont}
\renewcommand{\cftchapleader}{\cftsecleader}

\chapter{chapter title}

So my idea was to just tell LaTeX to write chapters to the TOC as though they were sections. My code has no effect whatsoever. Any ideas/solutions are very appreciated

I'm not sure if the tocloft package is the right tool in this case. The appendix package might be the better choice.

I looked at that package as well, but I don't see how one can change the appearance of the appendix in the TOC, other than adding sth in front. What did you have in mind?

[localghost]

I simply had a mistaken idea of what this package can do. In the meantime I have worked out a solution but I must see that is not needed anymore.

It would be very kind if you mention when doing a crossposting [1]*. This is only fair because it prevents others from double efforts and waste of time.

My excuses, I am new to this and will in future do so. I honestly tried to tag my code, but am clearly having start-up problems. Thanks for your efforts though!
