Page Layout ⇒ chemscheme | Custom List of Schemes

[niteshs]

Hi,

I am using the chemscheme package to define the float called scheme. I have added the line \renewcommand{\thescheme}{\arabic{section}.\arabic{scheme}} to number the schemes by chapter, and the line \listofschemes to add a list of schemes page.

The resulting list of schemes is however not formatted like the others. For example the list of figures looks like this:

LoF.png (7.88 KiB) Viewed 3825 times

and the list of schemes looks like this:

LoS.png (6.68 KiB) Viewed 3825 times

How do I get the appearance for the list of schemes to show "Scheme" and "Page"?
Here's what I tried-

The custom class that I am using has this code for the toc page:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\listoffigures{%
    \section*{\listfigurename}
     \noindent \underln{Figure} \hfill \underln{Page} \par
     \vspace{18pt} 
     \begin{spacing}{1}
     \@starttoc{lof}
     \end{spacing}}

I tried using the above code (with "scheme" replacing "figure", and "los" replacing "lof". While it added the "Scheme" and "Page" heading, the actual toc list disappeared:

custom-LoS.png (7.27 KiB) Viewed 3825 times

I checked that the .los file is being created. Its contents are:

Code: Select all

\contentsline {scheme}{\numberline {5.1}{\ignorespaces Caption for scheme}}{25}

How do I solve this problem? I don't mind using a different package instead of chemscheme (if someone can explain exactly how to get the desired output )- it was only the easiest way I could find to get the new float as well as associated list.

Edit: corrected code.

I'm guessing (since you haven't provided a minimal working example) that you haven't placed the redefinition of \listofschemes between \makeatletter and \makeatother. They are needed, though, because of the @ in \@starttoc.

You guessed right cgnieder! Thanks for the help!

I found this UK TeX FAQ page helpful in understanding the use of \makeatletter and \makeatother.
