"Chapter 1" instead of "1" in Table of Contents

Post by wilvil »

Hi,

In my table of contents, only shows the Chapter number. So for example, if I have Chapter 2 named "The Beginning", the Table of Contents shows "2 Beginning". How do I get it to show the word "Chapter" in there so that I have "Chapter 2 Beginning"?

Thanks

Take a look at the tocloft package. It lets you customize the entries in the ToC, LoF and LoT.


Best regards
