Page Layout ⇒ Indentation for Chapter Entries in ToC

[spirulerlocus]

The current formatting of my TOC is:

Code: Select all

                              TABLE OF CONTENTS

LIST OF TABLES....................................................... Page No
LIST OF FIGURES...................................................... Page No
CHAPTER
1  INTRODUCTION...................................................... Page No

2  BACKGROUND LITERATURE............................................. Page No

3  A NETWORK PERSPECTIVE OF ORG...................................... Page No

The formatting needs to be:

Code: Select all

LIST OF TABLES....................................................... Page No
LIST OF FIGURES...................................................... Page No
CHAPTER
   1  INTRODUCTION................................................... Page No

   2  BACKGROUND LITERATURE.......................................... Page No

   3  A NETWORK PERSPECTIVE OF ORG................................... Page No

Note that there is an indent after the word "CHAPTER"


My .tex code is this.

Code: Select all

Kindly prepare a minimal working example to prepare an adequate problem description.


Welcome to the board

[mas]

You should post a minimal example by removing all the unwanted packages, etc. Most of them are not related to what you want to achieve.

I have pruned your sample. Try the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[oneside,12pt]{memoir}

  \setlength{\cftchapterindent}{2em}
  \setlength{\cftsectionindent}{3em}
  \setlength{\cftsubsectionindent}{4em}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents*  

\newpage

\setcounter{page}{1} \pagenumbering{arabic} %

\pagestyle{plain}


\chapter{Chapter}
\section{This is a section}
\section{This is a section}
\section{This is a section}
\section{This is a section}
\subsection{This is a subsection}
\subsection{This is a subsection}

\chapter{Chapter}
\section{This is a section}
\section{This is a section}
\section{This is a section}
\subsection{This is a subsection}

\chapter{Chapter}

\chapter{Chapter}
\section{This is a section}
\subsection{This is a subsection}
\subsection{This is a subsection}

\chapter{Chapter}
\section{This is a section}
\section{This is a section}
\subsection{This is a subsection}
\subsection{This is a subsection}
\section{This is a section}
\section{This is a section}
\section{This is a section}
\subsection{This is a subsection}
\subsection{This is a subsection}
\subsection{This is a subsection}

\chapter{Chapter}
\section{This is a section}
\section{This is a section}
\section{This is a section}

\chapter{Chapter}

\end{document}

It gives you an idea of fine tuning the toc entries. Please take a look at the documentation of memoir, under the heading "Content Lists".

Just for information to all those who have to build a minimal example, be it for questions or for answers.

Such sample codes can be boiled down further by using the blindtext package instead of using hundreds of single heading commands. The provided example then looks like this.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{4}

\setlength{\cftchapterindent}{2em}
\setlength{\cftsectionindent}{3em}
\setlength{\cftsubsectionindent}{4em}

\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents*  

  \newpage

  \setcounter{page}{1} \pagenumbering{arabic}

  \pagestyle{plain}

  \blinddocument
  \blinddocument
  \blinddocument
  \blinddocument
  \blinddocument
  \blinddocument
  \blinddocument
\end{document}

This way examples become more compact and easier to read. Thus errors or causes of misbehaviour are easier to spot for those who try to help.

@localghost and @mas, thank you for the example. I'll incorporate your suggestions into future posts.
