Different titles on all pages of Table of Contents

Post by orenyk »

Hi all --

I'm putting together my thesis using LaTeX and my table of contents is two pages long. My school requires that I put the title "Table of Contents -- Continued" on top of all pages of the ToC other than the first, and the title "Table of Contents" on the first page. After much fruitless googling I haven't come up with a solution, any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hi Oren,

welcome to the board!
You could use \addtocontents at an appropriate point like:

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\newpage%
\protect\chapter*{\contentsname\ -- Continued}}
The exact solution depends on your document class.

Hi Stefan --

Thanks for the welcome! Wow that solved my problem perfectly; at first I wasn't sure where to put the command you suggested and once I figured it out it all clicked. That's amazingly clever, thanks again!
