Latex: adding column names to Table of contents

Carunkumar · 04-14-2009, 11:08 PM

I have googled for days together to figure out how to add column headings to table of contents but haven't figured it out yet. I have found only pages describing how to format the contents. I want to add column headings for chapter number, title, and page number.

For example, the output would look like

Code:

                Table of Contents

Chapter No.     Title                 Page No.
                Abstract              iii
1.              Introduction          1
2.              Literature Survey     10

.
.
.

.

Is there any word to do it?

tabular, tabularx, tabulary

all of the packages can do it

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline \hline
\textbf{Chapter} && \textbf{Title} && \textbf{Page}\\
\hline
1. && ... && ... \\

\end{tabular}

read about the package tabular and the options {|c|c|c|}

You do not need tabular apparently

If all sections are well defined it is

\tableofcontents ... you need to do nothing

Read about \bigskip, \medskip, \vspace, etc too
