Text Formatting ⇒ Special formatting of toc entries for tables and figures

[Montag]

Hello,

I'd like the toc entries, which are automatically generated via

Code: Select all

\listoffigures
\listoftables

, to be formatted with

Code: Select all

\Large\scshape

to match them to my own customized toc (formatted via titletoc), but I don't know how to do that.

As the list of acronyms usually also isn't numbered, I've managed to get the right formatting for this particular toc entry via

Code: Select all

\addchap{\Large\scshape Acronyms}

(I use the package acronym), but for the automatically generated lists, I can't seem to find a good clue how to get there. Any help would be appreciated.

Please post a minimal working example including all the relevant packages and settings related to this particular issue.

Alright, took me some good long time :/ but I had to do it, of course. I hope that helps anyone to help me.

You haven't set TOC entry for chapters correctly. All text-related settings go inside the first set of curly braces, spacing between the number of a sectioning unit and its title goes into the second set of curly braces. E.g.:

Code: Select all

\titlecontents{chapter}[0pt]{\addvspace{2pc}\rmfamily\Large\scshape{\thecontentslabel}}{\hspace{0.5em}}{}{\Large\xquad{\textcolor{FireBrick}\thecontentspage}}[\addvspace{2pt}]

Hm, ok, then I'm wondering why it worked so far for the other toc entries?

But thank you!

From titlesec manual:

Code: Select all

\titlecontents{<section>}[<left>]{<above>}
              {<before with label>}{<before without label>}
              {<filler and page>}[<after>]

• above is code for the global formatting of the entry. Vertical material is allowed. At this point the value of \thecontentslabel (see below) is known which enables you to take decisions depending on its value (with the help of the ifthen package). You may use the titlesec \filleft, \filright, \filcenter and \fillast commands.
• before with label is in horizontal mode and it will be used just before the entry title. As in \titleformat, the last command can take an argument with the title.
• before without label is like the above if there is, well, no label.

You specified custom formatting for before with label (and label in this case is the number before sectioning units), and it was passed to all numbered entries (i.e. chapter entires which are numbered), but left before without label empty, so list of tables and list of figures, which aren't numbered, remained "plain". This means that, if you copy the content of the second pair of braces to the third pair too (but probably without horizontal space), you'll achieve similar result as the one I presented in my earlier post.

You really understood that manual, huh. I think I read that manual and especially that part about 20 times now ... or up until I've read your post, but now is the first time I can make some sense out of it. Thanks again, I appreciate your explanation a lot.
