General ⇒ Custom Chapter Name For Just One Entry

[AleCes]

Hello.

I want to have a customized ToC like this:

Chapter 1
/////// 2
/////// 3

and so on.

Is there a way to do that with tocloft?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Foreword}

\chapter{blah}

\chapter{Afterword}
\end{document}

Thanks everybody.

Chapter 1
/////// 2
/////// 3

Are 1, 2, 3 chapter numbers or page numbers? In case of the first - no page numbers? No titles such as "Foreword", "Afterword" of the example?

Which is the just one entry for you would like to have a custom name, and which is the name?

OK sorry, I wanted something like this:

Chapter 1.................01
/////// 2.................10
/////// 3.................30

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Sounds like simply

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Chapter \thechapter}
...
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{/////// \thechapter}
...
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{/////// \thechapter}

at those places.

Thanks but I was thinking about something more standardized, where only the first entry has a special format.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I still don't understand why \chapter{Foreword} should produce "Chapter 1.................01" (without "Foreword") in the table of contents, and what "///////" in the other entries should mean (such actual symbols or dummy characters as place-holder for titles).

It would be good to post code you really mean (your code doesn't even contain the command \tableofcontents) and a better description. Even a hand-made drawing would be good.

You're right I'm sorry about my sloppiness

Yeah, ///// stands for dummy characters as place-holders for titles. Anyway, tomorrow I shall draw a sketch of what I want and post it here.

Bye and thanks a lot for your patience!
