Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ add word "CHAPTER", in front of every chapter.

[vjramana]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am using "Easy Thesis" template to write my thesis (https://www.sharelatex.com/project/5553 ... 810cb635be).

I need to do some tweaks to adopt according to my university thesis format.

I have two questions to ask.


Question 1)
In the "Contents page" the chapters are numbered. Like:
1. Introdudction
2. Literature Review
3. Research Methodology.

I want the word "CHAPTER" present (in capital letter) in front of every chapter like:

CHAPTER 1. Introdudction
CHAPTER 2. Literature Review
CHAPTER 3. Research Methodology.



Question 2)
In the "List of Figures" and "List of Table" page the figures and tables are numbered like:

List of Figures
1.1 Cell
1.2 Lipid

List of Table
1.1 Lipid mass table
1.2 Cell components

I want the word "FIGURE" and "TABLE" present in front of the numbers as shown below.

List of Figures
FIGURE 1.1 Cell
FIGURE 1.2 Lipid

List of Table
TABLE 1.1 Lipid mass table
TABLE 1.2 Cell components

I hope, I will get some help to fix this.

Many advance thanks in advance.
Vijay

Hi and welcome,

I need to be logged in to ShareLaTeX to see the template, but i am not a member there, so i can only assume some things that might not even be true.

The following uses package tocloft, depending on the class actually used, the solution could be much simpler.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\renewcommand{\cftchappresnum}{chapter~}
\renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{figure~}
\renewcommand{\cfttabpresnum}{table~}
\renewcommand{\cftchapnumwidth}{3cm}
\renewcommand{\cftfignumwidth}{2cm}
\renewcommand{\cfttabnumwidth}{2cm}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\contentsline{chapter}{Chapter:}{Page}}
\usepackage{capt-of}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\chapter{pogo penguin}
\captionof{figure}{Walzing Wombat}
\captionof{table}{Rumba Rhinoceros}
\end{document}

Thanks for your reply.

For your information, the "Easy Thesis" template uses "book" class

When I use "\usepackage{tocloft}" I get two errors as below:

tocloft.sty|error|line 607|Command \c@lofdepth already defined. \newcounter{lofdepth}
tocloft.sty|error|line 608|Command \c@lotdepth already defined. \newcounter{lotdepth}

Is there anyway to fix this?

Dear sir,

I have found that the error that I get is due to the use of "subfigure". So getting some info from (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... nd-tocloft) I tried to use the command below:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[clean,pdf]{svg}
\usepackage[subfigure]{tocloft}

I than put the commands below:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\cftchappresnum}{chapter~}
\renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{figure~}
\renewcommand{\cfttabpresnum}{table~}
\renewcommand{\cftchapnumwidth}{3cm}
\renewcommand{\cftfignumwidth}{2cm}
\renewcommand{\cfttabnumwidth}{2cm}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\contentsline{chapter}{Chapter:}{Page}}
\usepackage{capt-of}

in packages.tex file.

But I wonder where to put the \tableofcontents after the \begin{document} command. Because in my thesis.tex file there is \frontmatter command. I have given my thesis.tex for your view below.

Code: Select all

% % % NAMASHIVAYA
\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, oneside, doublespacing]{Thesis}	% Use the "Thesis" style, based on the ECS Thesis style by Steve Gunn

Could you give some suggestion?

Thank you sir.

The frontmatter of a book is a special section with a different numbering of chapter as well as pages for one very simple reason. Imagine, 100 years ago, a book was sold very well and the publisher decided to print a second edition. A few errors where found and corrected and the original author decided to write a foreword for this second edition. That means one or two extra pages and an extra chapter, meaning the whole book needed fixing. With the frontmatter invention, only the very first pages have to get major corrections, the rest can be left mostly untouched.

In you frontmatter, a file with the name TableOfContents in included. It is most likely that within there the table of contents is generated.

By the way, there are many many files included and even i as an andvanced user find this confusing. Unfortunately, that is template paradoxon. By trying to make everything solid and easy to understand for beginners, the file structure gets really really complex, information scattered around and almost no ducumentation of why stuff is placed the way it is. Many many beginners loose a lot of time trying to understand a complex template, trying to fix mistakes of the template compiler that should have been fixed long ago ... Package subfigure is obsolete for about 10 years now.

If you are interested, i suggest to read LaTeX for complete novices along with successor. This will take you two days to read and understand and you can get a real fresh start.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your reply. The link to the Latex books is really interesting. I am reading now.

I hope this will help to resolve my problem.

Thank you.
