Text Formatting ⇒ Really cool TOC layout i cant seem to make

[thorpn]

I am writing my masters thesis (or rather i am going to, i wanted to set up my layout first). And i really want a TOC where i can have a roman nummeral indicate a section, but still have chapters marked by arabic numbers.

Something like:

I Statistical methods
1 Closed form solution of normal CDF
1.1 Why i can divide by zero
1.2 What you mean i am insane?
2 Why negative probabilities make sense

II Quantitative financial theory
1 Closed solution to levy process derivatives
1.1 Transposing 8 to get \infty
2 Simple derivation of Unified theory
1.1 Why it is ok i made up 10^10^10 extra dimensions to make the math work out

III Empirical observations
1 The soviet Stock market
2 Commodity markets: Pyrite (foolds gold)



The titles are mostly made up, but i think they present the idea



ps. i got a bit carried away with the example above

Changing numbering to roman, arabic, or alphabetical, is no problem. For a sectioning level above chapters, you could use the \part command. Its default numbering is Roman, as desired.

Generally this depends on the document class. Which one do you use? Perhaps show a minimal working example.

Thank you Stefan, that was exactly what i was looking for. Funny how i have spent 2 years with LaTex but never heard about it before.

Anyway, big help man
