[Tex/LaTex] Format table of contents with LaTex

formattingtable of contents

Is it possible with LaTeX commands, or a LaTeX package, to format the Table Of Contents (TOC) of a book so that the TOC looks like this :

Table des matières

Chapter I - MyChapter1

I.1 MySection1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  1

I.1.1 MySubSection1 (1).

I.2 MySection2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  3

I.2.1 MySubSection1 (3). I.2.2 MySubSection2 (9)I.2.3 MySubSection3 (11). 
I.2.4 MySubSection4 (12).


Chapter II - MyChapter2

II.1 MySection1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11

II.1.1 MySubSection1 (12)

II.2 MySection2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12

II.2.1 MySubSection1 (12). II.2.2 MySubSection2 (13).II.2.3 MySub
Section3 (15). II.2.4 MySubSection4 (16). II.2.5 MySubSection5 
(17). II.2.6 MySubSection6 (18).II.2.7 MySubSection7 (21). II.2.8 
MySubSection8 (27).II.2.9 MySubSection9 (40). II.2.10 MySubSection
10 (45).II.2.11 MySubSection11 (46). II.2.12 MySubSection12 (53). 
II.2.13 MySubSection13 (54). II.2.14 MySubSection14 (58).

So that :

Each chapter title is displayed with the prefix "Chapter " and no reference to the page of the book.
Each Section is shown with the reference on the right of the toc to the book page and separated with some "…."
The list of subsection is displayed as ()…

(note: numbering issues are already solved)

You can achieve your desired format using the titletoc format.

I have used the command titlecontents command

\titlecontents{<section>}
[]             % left margin
{}             % above code
{}             % numbered format
{}             % unnumbered format
{}             % filler-page-format, e.g dots

to customize the chapter, and its sibling command titlecontents* (which removes line breaks between entries) to customize the subsection format.

This is compatible with the hyperref package, should you wish to load it.

Here's a complete MWE for you to play with.

% arara: pdflatex
% arara: pdflatex
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{titletoc}

% indented subsection (in toc)
\titlecontents{chapter}
[0.0cm]             % left margin
{\vspace{1cm}}                  % above code
{%                  % numbered format
{{\scshape Chapter} \thecontentslabel---}%
}%
{}         % unnumbered format
{}         % filler-page-format, e.g dots

% indented subsection (in toc)
\titlecontents*{subsection}
[1.0cm]             % left margin
{}                  % above code
{%                  % numbered format
{\thecontentslabel. }%
}%
{}         % unnumbered format
{ (\thecontentspage)}         % filler-page-format
[.~]

[Tex/LaTex] Add an asterisk in front of section label in TOC

One way to do this is to create an environment that changes the format of the section number. Then a bit of tocloft magic will make the TOC entries look nice.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{lipsum} % for dummy text
\newenvironment{hard}
{\renewcommand{\thesection}{*\thechapter.\arabic{section}}}
{}
% set section numbers in TOC flush right (from the tocloft documentation)
\newlength{\extralen}
\setlength{\extralen}{0.5em}    % need some extra space at end of number
\renewcommand{\cftsecpresnum}{\hfill} % note the double ‘l’ 
\renewcommand{\cftsecaftersnum}{\hspace*{\extralen}}
\addtolength{\cftsecnumwidth}{\extralen}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{A chapter}
\section{A regular section}\label{easylabel}
In Section~\ref{easylabel} we see\ldots
\lipsum
\begin{hard}
\section{A hard section}\label{hardlabel}
\lipsum
\end{hard}
In Section~\ref{hardlabel} we see\ldots
\end{document}

Note that this solution will also make the section number in references have an *, and subsections within a hard section will also bear an *. (For subsections you'll also need to add the appropriate tocloft code to make their numbers flush right as well.) If you don't want that, then things get a bit more compicated.

Table of contents from code

[Tex/LaTex] A table of contents for each section. Including only the entries of that section

Try changing your definition of section page2 to the following:

\setbeamertemplate{section page2}
{\tableofcontents[currentsection, sectionstyle=show/hide, subsectionstyle=show/show/hide]}

For sectionstyle, show/hide means show the current section and hide other sections. For subsectionstyle, the three options are for the current subsection, other subsections within the same section, and other subsections in different sections. You also have the shaded option, which makes the entry somewhat transparent. See the beamer documentation section 10.5 for details.

Full code:

\documentclass[t,10pt]{beamer}
\title{My presentation}
\date[February 11, 2015] % (optional)
{}

\def\sectionname{\translate{Section}}
\setbeamertemplate{section page}
{
  \begin{centering}
    \vskip1em\par

    \vspace{3cm}
\begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=4pt,center]{part title}
  \usebeamerfont{section title}\insertsection\par
\end{beamercolorbox}
  \end{centering}
}

\setbeamertemplate{section page2}
{\tableofcontents[currentsection, sectionstyle=show/hide, subsectionstyle=show/show/hide]}

\def\sectionpage{\usebeamertemplate*{section page}}
\def\sectionpageBis{\usebeamertemplate*{section page2}}

\AtBeginSection{\frame{\sectionpage} \frame{\sectionpageBis}}

\begin{document}
\setbeamertemplate{blocks}[rounded][shadow=true]
\begin{frame}
  \titlepage
\end{frame}
\addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}
\linespread{1.5}
\begin{frame}{Outline}
\footnotesize
  \tableofcontents[subsectionstyle=hide]
  % You might wish to add the option [pausesections]
\end{frame}
\section{Section 1}
\subsection{sub 1}
\subsection{sub 2}
\section{Section 2}
\subsection{sub 1}
\subsection{sub 2}
\subsection{sub 3}
\section{Section 3}
\subsection{sub 1}
\subsection{sub 2}
\end{document}
