titletoc – How to Format \contentslabel in titletoc

titletoc

so in making ToC, \contentslabel gives you the section number, and using \thecontentslabel give you the default format. The problem is that this number is in arabic, while I want to use roman. Titletoc gave \contentslabel[<format>] to reformat this, but it doesn't tell me the wanted format. Any way to reformat it to roman numbering ?

My code is :

\documentclass[oneside,12pt]{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{titletoc}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]{\bfseries\upshape\filcenter}{CHAPTER \ \Roman{chapter}}{1ex}{}
\titlespacing*{\chapter} {0pt}{-10pt}{40pt}

\titlecontents{chapter}[0pt]{\bfseries}%above code
{\MakeUppercase{\chaptername} \thecontentslabel \ }%numbered chapter%
{}%numberless chapter%
{\mdseries\titlerule*[0.75em]{.}\bfseries\thecontentspage}%for dots

\chapter{lorem}
\chapter{ipsum}

As you can see I format my chapter with roman, but \thecontentslabel still gives arabic.
Format I want :

CHAPTER I LOREM
CHAPTER II IPSUM

the default output:

CHAPTER 1 LOREM
CHAPTER 2 IPSUM

some of my tried format(all fail):

\titlecontents{chapter}[0pt]{\bfseries}%above code
{\MakeUppercase{\chaptername} \contentslabel[\Roman{contentslabel}] \ }%numbered chapter%
{}%numberless chapter%
{\mdseries\titlerule*[0.75em]{.}\bfseries\thecontentspage}%for dots

\titlecontents{chapter}[0pt]{\bfseries}%above code
{\MakeUppercase{\chaptername} \contentslabel[\Roman{\contentslabel}] \ }%numbered chapter%
{}%numberless chapter%
{\mdseries\titlerule*[0.75em]{.}\bfseries\thecontentspage}%for dots

\titlecontents{chapter}[0pt]{\bfseries}%above code
{\MakeUppercase{\chaptername} \Roman{\thecontentslabel} \ }%numbered chapter%
{}%numberless chapter%
{\mdseries\titlerule*[0.75em]{.}\bfseries\thecontentspage}%for dots

\titlecontents{chapter}[0pt]{\bfseries}%above code
{\MakeUppercase{\chaptername} \Roman{thecontentslabel} \ }%numbered chapter%
{}%numberless chapter%
{\mdseries\titlerule*[0.75em]{.}\bfseries\thecontentspage}%for dots

Here is a solution based on the TeX primitive \romannumeral:

\documentclass[oneside,12pt]{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{titletoc}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]{\bfseries\upshape\filcenter}{CHAPTER \ \Roman{chapter}}{1ex}{}
\titlespacing*{\chapter} {0pt}{-10pt}{40pt}

\titlecontents{chapter}[0pt]{\bfseries}%above code
{\MakeUppercase{\chaptername\ \romannumeral \thecontentslabel}\enspace}%numbered chapter%
{}%numberless chapter%
{\mdseries\titlerule*[0.75em]{.}\bfseries\thecontentspage}%for dots

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\chapter{lorem}
\chapter{ipsum}%

\end{document}

For the "partial" ToC, use \titlecontents to define the formats psubsection and psubsubsection (note the prefix) and issue \printcontents[]{p}{2}{} in the document body. See p. 17 of the titlesec/titletoc documentation for details.

[Tex/LaTex] How to change locally titletoc

This solution works independently of the page number of the bibliography...

Remember to use

\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]

instead of

\chapter*{\bibname}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname}

to have your bibliography printed and in the ToC.

Define the numberless-entry-format for \chapter in the same way you've defined it for the other sectioning commands:

\titlecontents{chapter}[4pc]
{\addvspace{1pc}}
{\makebox[0pt][r]{\makebox[30pt][r]{\textsc{\romannumeral\thecontentslabel\quad}}}}
{\makebox[0pt][r]{\thecontentspage\quad\makebox[30pt][r]{}}}
{}

MWE:

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@book{ hoyningen:1993,
  author         = "Hoyningen-Huene, Paul",
  title          = "Recontructing Scientific Revolutions",
  publisher      = "The University of Chicago Press",
  location       = "Chicago",
  year           = "1993",
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass[a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage[dotinlabels]{titletoc}


\contentsmargin{0pt}

\titlecontents{chapter}[4pc]
{\addvspace{1pc}}
{\makebox[0pt][r]{\makebox[30pt][r]{\textsc{\romannumeral\thecontentslabel\quad}}}}
{\makebox[0pt][r]{\thecontentspage\quad\makebox[30pt][r]{}}}
{}

\titlecontents{section}[4pc]
{}
{\makebox[0pt][r]{\thecontentspage\quad\makebox[30pt][r]{\textsc{\thecontentslabel.\quad}}}}
{}
{}

\titlecontents{subsection}[4pc]
{}
{\makebox[0pt][r]{\thecontentspage\quad\makebox[30pt][r]{\textsc{\thecontentslabel.\quad}}}}
{}
{}

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}

\usepackage[style=philosophy-verbose,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\nocite{*}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{Chapter One}
\section{Section one}

\chapter{Chapter Two}
\section{Section one}

\chapter{Chapter Three}
\section{Section one}

\chapter{Chapter Four}
\section{Section one}

\chapter{Chapter Five}
\section{Section one}

\chapter{Chapter Six}
\section{Section one}

\chapter{Chapter Seven}
\section{Section one}

\chapter{Chapter Eight}
\section{Section one}

\chapter{Chapter Nine}
\section{Section one}

\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]

\end{document}

Output:

enter image description here

Some remarks:

If you set
```
\contentsmargin{0pt}
```
once and don't want to change it, you don't need to repeat it.

You are using the second mandatory argument of \titlecontents as it was the third...

In other words, you should write

\titlecontents{section}[4pc]
{}
{\makebox[0pt][r]{\thecontentspage\quad\makebox[30pt][r]{\textsc{\thecontentslabel.\quad}}}}
{}
{}

instead of

\titlecontents{section}[4pc]
{\contentsmargin {0 pt}\makebox[0pt][r]{\thecontentspage\quad\makebox[30pt][r]{\textsc{\thecontentslabel.\quad}}}}
{}
{}
{}
