[Tex/LaTex] Table of Contents with Chapter

chapterstable of contents

I'm attempting to modify the Table of Contents in my document. Currently, chapter one in my document is listed as

1   Introduction

What I would like to see is

Chapter 1   Introduction

Seems like an easy enough thing to ask for, but can't seem to find a good way to do this. Any feedback would be most appreciative.

The titletoc package provides ToC entry manipulation for a \chapter via \titlecontents*{chapter}:

enter image description here

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\usepackage{titletoc}% http://ctan.org/pkg/titletoc
\titlecontents*{chapter}% <section-type>
  [0pt]% <left>
  {}% <above-code>
  {\bfseries\chaptername\ \thecontentslabel\quad}% <numbered-entry-format>
  {}% <numberless-entry-format>
  {\bfseries\hfill\contentspage}% <filler-page-format>

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Introduction} \lipsum[1]
\section{First section} \lipsum[2-3]
\section{Second section} \lipsum[4-5]
\section{Last section} \lipsum[6-7]
\chapter{Second chapter} \lipsum[1]
\section{First section} \lipsum[2-3]
\section{Second section} \lipsum[4-5]
\section{Last section} \lipsum[6-7]
\chapter{Last chapter} \lipsum[1]
\section{First section} \lipsum[2-3]
\section{Second section} \lipsum[4-5]
\section{Last section} \lipsum[6-7]
\end{document}

For adding space between ToC chapter entries, you could use \addvspace{1em} (where 1em is the regular book documentclass chapter skip) for <above-code>:

\usepackage{titletoc}% http://ctan.org/pkg/titletoc
\titlecontents*{chapter}% <section-type>
  [0pt]% <left>
  {\addvspace{1em}}% <above-code>
  {\bfseries\chaptername\ \thecontentslabel\quad}% <numbered-entry-format>
  {}% <numberless-entry-format>
  {\bfseries\hfill\contentspage}% <filler-page-format>

EDIT: I've added the code to change (as requested in a comment) the format of the chapter headings.

To change the format of the chapter entries in the ToC ou can use the tocloft package; to change the format of the chapter headings, you can use the titlesec package. A little example:

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\renewcommand\cftchapfont{\scshape }
\renewcommand\cftchappresnum{ Chapter\ }
\renewcommand\cftchapaftersnumb{\newline\normalfont}
\renewcommand\cftchapleader{\cftdotfill{1}}
\renewcommand\cftchappagefont{\normalfont}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\Large\itshape\raggedleft}
  {\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{10pt}
  {\normalfont\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}
  {0pt}{10pt}{20pt}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test chapter}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Display \chaptername in table of contents

The error you are getting comes from loading the tocloft and subfigure packages simultaneously, as the following example swhows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{subfigure}

\begin{document}

test

\end{document}

As soon as one processes this document, the following error shows up:

! LaTeX Error: Command \c@lofdepth already defined.
               Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              

l.124 \newcounter{lofdepth}

The problem is that both packages define the counters lofdepth and lotdepth. To prevent the error, simply load tocloft with the subfigure option; i.e., load the packages like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[subfigure]{tocloft} 
\usepackage{subfigure} 

\begin{document}

test

\end{document}

By the way, sufigure is an obsolete package and shouldn't be used anymore; subfig or subcaption are valid alternatives
