Remove Space for Chapter Prefix in ToC

Post by jbgrad »

The chapter lines of my ToC should only have the number, not the word "Chapter". I used \renewcommand{\chaptername}{} as follows in modifying my university's template (which is unfortunately wrong). However, while the word "Chapter" is gone, the space taken up by it is not, so an entry looks like:
1 [Space the length of "Chapter"] Name-of-chapter
instead of
1 Name-of-chapter

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
\renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{%
\renewcommand{\chaptername}{}
\doublespace
\if@twocolumn
\@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
\else
\@restonecolfalse
\fi
\chapteroneside*{%\contentsname
\@mkboth{%
\MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}}%
\@starttoc{toc}%
\if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
}

Any assistance in removing this unwanted horizontal space (the length of "Chapter") would be appreciated.

Remove Space for Chapter Prefix in ToC

That's not the behavior of standard classes, so obviously your university's template provided this addition which you would like to remove. Look for a macro called \l@chapter or post the template file here as attachment to a post.
