Page Layout ⇒ Indent contents line of table of content

[Jack1234567]

Hi there,

I used the following formatting to include apa references in my report, importing it from Mendeley.

% REFERENCES
\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{Library.bib}

It automatically included a line in my table of content, as you can see below. However, I want to tab (indent) the reference line, in order to align it with the rest of the sections (summery, acknowledgement, etc.). Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

ps. when I add another section line to my table of content, I get two references lines.
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\numberline{}References}

Hi Jack,

welcome to the forum!

It seems you have somewhere else in your code such an \addcontentsline already, but without that \numberline{}. That happens for example if you simply use the tocbibind package.

Quick patch, at the end of your document preamble, so right before \begin{document}:

Code: Select all

\let\origaddcontentsline\addcontentsline
\renewcommand{\addcontentsline}[3]{\origaddcontentsline{#1}{#2}{\numberline{}#3}}

Hi Stefan,

Thank you so much, this was very much of a help. Fixed the 'reference' problem.
However, next problem the appendix's have indented now. Do you also know how to get them aligned with the numbers?

Excuse me, just started working with Latex, so it's all a bit new to me.

You could revert that change after \bibliography and before the appendix:

Code: Select all

\let\addcontentsline\origaddcontentsline

Perfect, thank you!
