Dissertation formatting help, table of contents

TeX - LaTeX Asked on December 25, 2021

I need some urgent help with my dissertation formatting for the TOC which I am just not able to figure out and have a submission deadline to get my PhD.

I have manually created the TOC (I had to), and need to make the following changes in it:

  1. Triple space from title for List of Figures
  2. Have double space between each entry EXCEPT multi-line titles.
  3. Indent second line if title has two lines or more.

I have tried everything and looked everywhere, but just can’t figure this out. I would SERIOUSLY appreciate any help with this asap.

I am attaching the TeX code. I work on Overleaf.

One Answer

Any suggestions on how to have a single space for multi-line titles, with the second line indented as well?

In article.cls, l@section is defined as follows:

newcommand*l@section[2]{%
  ifnum c@tocdepth >z@
    addpenalty@secpenalty
    addvspace{1.0em @plusp@}%
    setlength@tempdima{1.5em}%
    begingroup
      parindent z@ rightskip @pnumwidth
      parfillskip -@pnumwidth
      leavevmode bfseries
      advanceleftskip@tempdima
      hskip -leftskip
      #1nobreakhfil nobreakhb@xt@@pnumwidth{hss #2}par
    endgroup
  fi}

So basically what you need to do is to modify this. In your preamble you should add

makeatletter
renewcommand*l@section[2]{%
  ifnum c@tocdepth >z@
    addpenalty@secpenalty
    addvspace{1.0em @plusp@}%
    setlength@tempdima{1.5em}%
    begingroup
      setstretch{1}%
      hangindent@tempdima
      parindent z@ rightskip @pnumwidth
      parfillskip -@pnumwidth
      leavevmode bfseries
      advanceleftskip@tempdima
      hskip -leftskip
      #1nobreakhfil nobreakhb@xt@@pnumwidth{hss #2}par
    endgroup
  fi}
makeatother

Where setstretch{1} is a command for a single space and hangindent@tempdima is a command for an indent of the second line.

Result: Result


As for subsection, there is a similar solution:

makeatletter
renewcommand*l@subsection[2]{%
  ifnum 2>c@tocdepth else
    vskip z@ @plus.2p@
    {@tempdimabaselineskip
    setstretch{1}%
    advance@tempdima-baselineskip
    setlength{parskip}{@tempdima}%
    hangindent1.5emrelax
    leftskip 1.5emrelax rightskip @tocrmarg parfillskip -rightskip
     parindent 1.5emrelax@afterindenttrue
     interlinepenalty@M
     leavevmode
     @tempdima 2.3emrelax
     advanceleftskip @tempdima nullnobreakhskip -leftskip
     {#1}nobreak
     leadershbox{$m@th
        mkern @dotsep muhbox{.}mkern @dotsep
        mu$}hfill
     nobreak
     hb@xt@@pnumwidth{hfilnormalfont normalcolor #2}%
     par}%
  fi}
makeatother

In this solution,

    @tempdimabaselineskip
    setstretch{1}%
    advance@tempdima-baselineskip
    setlength{parskip}{@tempdima}%
    hangindent1.5emrelax

is the added part to the definition of l@subsection in article.cls and latex.ltx.

Result: enter image description here


Just in case, this is for subsubsection.

makeatletter
renewcommand*l@subsubsection[2]{%
  ifnum 3>c@tocdepth else
    vskip z@ @plus.2p@
    {@tempdimabaselineskip
    setstretch{1}%
    advance@tempdima-baselineskip
    setlength{parskip}{@tempdima}%
    hangindent1.5emrelax
    leftskip 3.8emrelax rightskip @tocrmarg parfillskip -rightskip
     parindent 3.8emrelax@afterindenttrue
     interlinepenalty@M
     leavevmode
     @tempdima 3.2emrelax
     advanceleftskip @tempdima nullnobreakhskip -leftskip
     {#1}nobreak
     leadershbox{$m@th
        mkern @dotsep muhbox{.}mkern @dotsep
        mu$}hfill
     nobreak
     hb@xt@@pnumwidth{hfilnormalfont normalcolor #2}%
     par}%
  fi}
makeatother
