Text Formatting ⇒ ToC: Flush left front and end matters

[Mimi_Mikhail]

Hello!

Here's my MWE and in the ToC, I would like to have

• (i) the entries of front and end matters to be aligned with CHAPTER;
  (ii) the entries and pages of front and end matters to be made non-bold.

How do I achieve that?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}

\usepackage[a4paper,lmargin=4cm,rmargin=2cm,tmargin=2cm,bmargin=2cm]{geometry}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\doublespacing

\usepackage{titlesec}
\renewcommand{\chaptername}{CHAPTER}
\titleformat{\chapter}[hang]{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries\centering}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter:}{2mm}{\normalsize\uppercase}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{-1\baselineskip}{\baselineskip}

\usepackage{tocloft}

I haven't looked into this so far, as i am pretty tired and not an expert with titlesec and titletoc and others. There is a pretty good reason for that.
Both packages extend the LaTeX standard classes. I myself on the other hand am using KOMA-script, a bundle of classes and packages available for LaTeX.

Most of the stuff (but really, not everything) can be done with KOMA-script alone. No need for extra, maybe incompatible, packages. In europe, KOMA-script is widespread. There is also memoir, following pretty much the same approach, but more widespread in the rest of the world.



Please, have a look at KOMA script. skim the documentation a little bit. I am sure you will enjoy it. Tomorrow, i will be looking into the problem at hand. Not entirely sure if it is doable with titletoc, thoug.

It certainly is with KOMA-script
