[Tex/LaTex] List of Equations in standard list style

equationsindentationtable of contentstocloft

I'm using this solution to generate a list of equations.

Running my minimal example below, there are two points I want to change:

[A] Using the standard "list of" style, means: using the same spaces after the caption and indent the entries like the list of figures.

[B] Use a seperate variable as the Caption instead of the label

Best Answer

This approach answers only your question [A] (see below for a complete solution).

Replace the line

\setlength{\cftmyequationsnumwidth}{3em}

with

\setlength{\cftmyequationsindent}{1.5em}
\setlength{\cftmyequationsnumwidth}{2.3em}

so to match the corresponding definitions for \listoffigures in tocloft.sty:

\setlength{\cftfigindent}{1.5em}
\setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{2.3em}

MWE:

\setlength{\cftmyequationsindent}{1.5em}
\setlength{\cftmyequationsnumwidth}{2.3em}

A different approach can be used to achieve both [A] and [B].

I don't like this one very much, but here it is.

We use the package float and declare the Equation environment to be a new floating environment.

So, replace all the stuff between \makeatletter ... \makeatother with:

\newfloat{Equation}{htbp}{equ}[chapter]
\newcommand{\listequationsname}{List of Equations}

At this point you can use equations inside Equation in this way:

\begin{Equation}[!htb]
\centering
\begin{equation}
1 + 1 = 2
\end{equation}
\caption{First equation}
\label{eq:first}
\end{Equation}

and to print the List of Equations you have to write the line:

\listof{Equation}{\listequationsname}

instead of

\listofmyequations

\section{Brushless Motor Fundamentals}
\subsubsection{DC Motor Operation}
Torque is generated in DC motors from the magnetic force,
also known as the Lorentz force, which is produced when an
electric current is passed through a coil in a magnetic field.
This force is given by \ref{eq:Force}.
\begin{equation}
  F=q[E+(v\times B)]
  \label{eq:Force}
\end{equation}
where $F$ is the force perpendicular to the coil,
$E$ is the electric field in the coil,
$v$ is the velocity of the charged particles in the coil,
and $B$ is the magnetic field. From mechanics, torque is
\begin{equation}
  \tau=F\times r
  \label{eq:Torque}
\end{equation}
If the electrical force in \ref{eq:Force} is ignored,
and the remaining magnetic force is used in \ref{eq:Torque},
with the assumption that $v$ is perpendicular to $B$, we find that
\begin{equation}
      \tau=qvBrsin\theta
  \label{eq:Magnetic}
\end{equation}

tocloft provides \cft<set>numwidth for the width of the number associated with an entry <set>. In your case, <set> is myequations, so we can adjust \cftmyequationsnumwidth in the following way:
