Page Layout ⇒ Memoir Class, toc formatting part II

[twesslen]

I am still trying to tweak my table of contents in my memoir class formatted thesis and am running into a peculiar problem. I have added

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\cftchaptername}{\hspace{1.5em}}

to shift the chapters over and center the chapter number under the heading Contents as in the "Centered" picture that is attached. I want the same spacing for my appendix sections as well, but somehow it does not get passed down to the \chapter{...} lines in the appendix. Without the line above, the body chapter lines are left aligned as in the picture "Left Aligned".

A MWE is

Code: Select all

\documentclass{memoir}


\renewcommand{\cftchaptername}{\hspace{1.5em}}


\begin{document}
\maxtocdepth{subsubsection}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Chapter One}
\section{Section A}
\section{Section B}
\subsection{Subsection a}
\subsection{Subsection b}

\chapter{Chapter Two}
\section{Section A}
\section{Section B}
\section{Section C}

\appendix
\chapter{First Appendix Chapter}


\end{document}

Seems like there should be something simple to do in order to get this to work for the appendices as well. Anyone know how to do it?

I wouldn't use cftchaptername for that. Instead, try something like this (might seem like an overkill, but hopefully will help you in your further work).

Code: Select all

\documentclass{memoir}

\newlength{\mylen}% New length to use when setting indentation

\settowidth{\mylen}{\large\bfseries Contents}% Sets mylen to width of word “Contents”, large and bold

\cftsetindents{chapter}{0pt}{\mylen}% Sets indent and numwidth for chapters
\renewcommand{\cftchapterpresnum}{\hfill}% Typesets \hfill before the chapter number
\renewcommand{\cftchapteraftersnum}{\hfill}% Typesets \hfill after the chapter number
\renewcommand{\cftchapteraftersnumb}{\hspace{-1em}}% Typesets negative horizontal space before the title

\cftsetindents{section}{0pt}{\mylen}% Sets indent and numwidth for sections
\renewcommand{\cftsectionpresnum}{\hfill}
\renewcommand{\cftsectionaftersnum}{\hfill}
\renewcommand{\cftsectionaftersnumb}{\hspace{-1em}}

\newlength{\subseclen}% We’ll define a new length for subsections, so that we don’t have to change mylen

\setlength{\subseclen}{\mylen}% Sets subseclen to the same width as mylen
\addtolength{\subseclen}{-1em}% To align subsections with sections, use the value of \hspace from \cftsectionaftersnumb above, i.e., in this case it’s -1em to subtract it from subseclen
\cftsetindents{subsection}{\subseclen}{\mylen}% Sets indent and numwidth for subsections

\begin{document}

\maxtocdepth{subsubsection}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{Chapter One}
\section{Section A}
\section{Section B}
\subsection{Subsection a}
\subsection{Subsection b}

\chapter{Chapter Two}
\section{Section A}
\section{Section B}
\section{Section C}

\appendix

\chapter{First Appendix Chapter}

\end{document}
