General ⇒ Appendix Entry in ToC

[Red_Civ]

Hello,

I'm trying to edit my masters thesis and can't seem to get the table of contents with regards to the appendix to display how the university would like it.

The picture below shows what I had and how they would like it (bottom left comment).

The picture (below) is how I have it now. I can't seem to get the entry "Appendix" to show up.

At first I was using the Appendices environment but was having trouble and I don't want the Appendix title page it creates prior to the first page of the appendix. Switching to \appendix helped get rid of that 'title page' and get the A Plotted Data versus Appendix A Plotted Data that I want but I still can't get the Appendix..............105.

I'm using the book document class.

Any suggestions?

I use this.

Code: Select all

\appendix
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\appendixname}
\subfile{Backmatter/appendixA}

And it gets me this.

Which is closer but the font is too big and the filing dots between the text and page number are missing. Also the page number is wrong. Should be 105. Page 104 is the end of my conclusions and that page hasn't been altered.

Have a look at the appendix package. In combination with tocstyle from KOMA-Script you can customize the ToC like shown below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[toc]{appendix}

\usepackage{tocstyle}
\usetocstyle{allwithdot}
\settocstylefeature[0]{entryhook}{\normalfont\bfseries}

\usepackage{blindtext}  % only for creating dummy text here

\renewcommand*{\appendixtocname}{Appendix}

\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents

  \blinddocument

  \begin{appendices}
    \blinddocument
  \end{appendices}
\end{document}

Just click on "Open in writeLaTeX" in the head of the above code box to see the rendered output instantly.


Remarks:

• The tocstyle package is in still alpha stadium, but hasn't caused any major problems yet. You will get a corresponding warning.

Alternative packages: (for customization of the ToC)

• etoc
• titletoc
• tocloft
• tocvsec2

Best regards and welcome to the board
