Text Formatting ⇒ Centering The Title of ToC

[s.david]

Hello,

I have the following piece of code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openany,oneside]{memoir}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{TABLE OF CONTENTS}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test}
\end{document}

I want to center the title TABLE OF CONTENTS. How can I do that? I also want to center all other titles such as LIST OF FIGURES, LIST OF TABLES and LIST OF APPENDICES.

Thanks in advance

You may try this:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\printtoctitle}{\centering\Huge\bfseries}

Note that when redefining \printtoctitle you have to set other attributes too (in the example I set \Huge and \bfseries). For more infos take a look at Chapter 9. in memoir documentation.

Hello,

Thank you fo replying, but it did not work. I still have the title aligned to the left. Why?

Strange. On my system (TeXLive 2009), works fine. Here's your code with the additional line from my previous post to test:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openany,oneside]{memoir}
\renewcommand{\printtoctitle}{\centering\Huge\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{TABLE OF CONTENTS}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test}
\end{document}

And in attachment is its output. I tested it with pdflatex and xelatex. Can anyone other test it and confirm if it's working?

I just tested the code with that additional line and it's working on my system, too. I have TeXLive 2008.

Yes you are right. I am sorry for this. I tried it on my full document where it did not work. As an independent document, it is just fine. In my original document I use something like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openany,oneside]{memoir}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{TABLE OF CONTENTS}
\begin{document}
\chapter*{\contentsname}
\chapter{Test}
\end{document}

It is a long story why I did this. I want to center this chapter title alone, not all chapters titles. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance
