Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Word "Algorithm" in LoA Entries

[ahmedsalahais]

Hi all,

my document contains a lot of figures, tables, and algorithms. I'm able to produce LoF, LoT, and LoA. The problem is that I made it possible to have the word "Table" before any entry in LoT using \cfttabpresnum, the same with LoF using \cftfigpresnum. Now the question is how to do the same with List Of Algorithms (LoA)?


Thanks in advance,
Ahmed Salah

Hi Ahmed,

it depends on how you produce the list of algorithms.
Perhaps show your way with a small minimal working example, which shows a tiny document with a LOA together with the chosen TOC or algorithm packages, there are several possible.

Thanks for the reply. Here's my MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, openany]{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage[algochapter, algoruled, vlined]{algorithm2e}

\begin{document}
	\listofalgorithms

\chapter{Test}

\begin{algorithm}[htpb]
    \caption{Test Algorithm}
    \label{alg:test}
    \begin{algorithmic}[1]
        \STATE Just a test statement
    \end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

\end{document}

Ok, with this MWE this code works:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\l@algocf}[2]{\@dottedtocline{1}{1em}{2.3em}{Algorithm #1}{#2}}
\makeatother

It's calling \@dottedtocline, as the original algorithm2e code does, but inserts Algorithm before the number.

It seems algorithm2e doesn't directly work with tocloft, so the change is not made with tocloft.

That did the trick, Thank you so much Stefan.
