Page Layout ⇒ ToC Formatting

[dsp]

hello

I am working on my dissertation using latex. I have some difficulties in toc format.
I need double space between header "chapter" and "chapter 31" as shown below.

Had a quick look at your code and noticed the following:

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{CHAPTER}

To solve your second question, replace that with

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{CHAPTER\par}

As far as your first question concerns: I'm not really familiar with memoir (assuming that 'chapter' string comes from memoir), so can't help you with that.

Please try this.
CHAPTER \\ for one space and \\ \\ for two space and continue. It worked for me.

CHAPTER
\\
31. Chapter 4
This gives required spacing.

\\ is for ending a line. It's not for adding vertical space, it may be misused that way, such as with \\ \\ etc.

\par would end a paragraph, and would add a paragraph skip if that's configured. \par\vspace{\baselineskip} would end the paragraph and adds a vertical space of a line height.

You should never add more than one \\. It could result in "there's no line to end here" errors and in empty lines at the beginning of a page. To add extra space, you can either use the optional argument of \\ or \vspace.

BTW: A very easy, real solution for the original problem with the first ToC page would be to remove

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{toc}}

from pwasu.tex (line 111) and change:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\aftertoctitle}{\thispagestyle{plain}%
  \par\nobreak \mbox{}\hfill{\normalfont Page}\par\nobreak}

in pwasu.sty (line 167f) into:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\aftertoctitle}{\thispagestyle{plain}%
  \par\nobreak {\normalfont Chapter}\hfill{\normalfont Page}\par\nobreak}

The problem at the second, third etc. page of the ToC is a result of the to low vertical separation of the page head and the text area. This can be solved removing line 73:

Code: Select all

\addtolength{\headsep}{-\topskip}

from pwasu.sty.
