The LaTeX titletoc package

Version: 5.5 - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word

The titletoc package provides a method for changing the appearance of the table of contents, list of figures, and list of tables.

Package options, available through the Options and Packages command on the Typeset menu, provide for setting the alignment of division labels and placing a dot after the labels. The package provides for appropriate page breaks in the table of contents and lists of figures and tables.

This example specifies that chapter headings be typeset as bold italics. Modify these sample instructions to create the format you want:

1. Add the titletoc package to your document.

2. From the Typeset menu, choose Preamble.

3. On a new line at the end of the preamble entries, type

   \titlecontents{chapter}[0pt]{\addvspace{1pc}\itshape}{\contentsmargin{0pt}
   \bfseries\makebox[0pt][r]{\large\thecontentslabel\enspace}\large}
   {\contentsmargin{0pt}\large}{\hfill\contentspage}[\addvspace{.5pc}]

4. Choose OK.

Detailed information about the commands available for use with the titletoc package is included with the titlesec package documentation. The titletoc package doesn't work for documents created with Style Editor shells.

The package is installed in the TCITeX/TeX/LaTeX/contrib/titlesec directory.
