LyX ⇒ Change table of content font in lyx

[mkbh10]

I have attached two images. Image 1 at the bottom shows an example table of content and I want a similar one for myself. Image 2 at the top shows what I get when I insert TOC for my report in LYX. I am using the report document class and I also have the following commands in the preamble but it does not reduce the size.

\usepackage{tocloft}
\renewcommand\cftchapfont{\fontsize{14}{16}\selectfont}
\renewcommand\textnormal\cftsecfont{\fontsize{6}{7}\selectfont}
\renewcommand\textnormal\cftsubsecfont{\fontsize{6}{7}\selectfont}

How to get the porper font size ?

mkbh10, you have been asked several times to be careful with cross-posting. Can you please take some time to think about how you can be respectful to those who spend their free time to help you? cross-post for this one: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... toc-in-lyx and here are some of your previous cross-posts: http://latex-community.org/forum/viewto ... 458#p94458 http://latex-community.org/forum/viewto ... 449#p94449 (second post in different subforum) http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... put-in-lyx

Here is a useful article you could read: http://latex-community.org/home/latex-c ... crossposts

It's just that I have been struggling with that and got impatient so posted here too.

Thanks for explaining. Sorry for the frustration.

Did you read the link that I recommended to you? Do you have any questions about it?

I actually did not intend for you to delete the tex.stackexchange question. The main thing to understand is why it is important for you to reference all of the places that you asked the same question. If those spending time to help can see where else you asked the question, they can see what progress has been made so far.

Further, if someone has the same question as you and finds one of your questions from google, maybe in that forum there was no answer but if you linked to your other questions they can follow that link and find an answer that way.

Thanks for the explanation but I am still waiting for someone to reply. I do not have a latex background so it gets crazy when stuck.

You'll have to play with the commands like

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\cftsecfont}{\normalfont\small}
\setlength{\cftbeforechapskip}{0.1em}

for

Code: Select all

\cftchapfont, \cftsubsecfont, \cftbeforechapskip, \cftbeforesecskip

These are some sub-normal font sizes:

Code: Select all

\small, \footnotesize, \scriptsize

.

Code: Select all

\cftbefore...skip

lengths can be -0.2mm, 4pt, 3em, -2ex, you choose.

And here's the documentation for the package tocloft: http://ctan.math.utah.edu/ctan/tex-arch ... ocloft.pdf
