I am having trouble with my custom made titletoc/titlesec. I read in the documentation (missed it?), googled and searched this forum but could not find what I needed.

First what I want:

I have a long chapter title and I want a short version of it in the TOC. I found so far to use:

\usepackage[toctitles]{titlesec}
\chapter[short for TOC]{long for chapter heading}

As I redefined my own TOC this does not work. I guess I would have to enter this in my redefined TOC, but I don’t know how and where. Here what I did in a minimal example:

\documentclass[12pt,twoside,reqno]{amsbook} 

%linksbuendige chapter, section, subsection
\usepackage{titlesec}
\newcommand*{\justifyheading}{\raggedright}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\scshape\justifyheading}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}
 {14pt}{\Large\scshape}
\titleformat{\section}
  {\normalfont\large\bfseries\justifyheading}{\thesection}{1em}{}
\titleformat{\subsection}
  {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries\justifyheading}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}
\titleformat{\subsubsection}
  {\normalfont\normalsize\justifyheading}{\thesubsubsection}{1em}{}
\titleformat{\paragraph}
  {\normalfont\normalsize\itshape\justifyheading}{\theparagraph}{1em}{}


%Inhaltsverzeichnis formatieren
\usepackage{titletoc}
\newcommand\frontmatterchaptoc{%
\titlecontents{chapter}
  [1.4em]{\addvspace{3pt}}
  {\contentslabel{-0.25em}\hspace{2em}}
  {\hspace*{-1.3em}\bfseries}% \MakeUppercase removed
  {\titlerule*[0.3pc]{.}\contentspage}
} 
\titlecontents{section}[3.7em]{}{\contentslabel{2.3em}}{\hspace*{-2.3em}}
{\titlerule*[0.3pc]{.}\contentspage}
\titlecontents{subsection}[5.9em]{}{\contentslabel{2.3em}}{\hspace*{-2.3em}}
{\titlerule*[0.3pc]{.}\contentspage}
\titlecontents{subsubsection}[8.9em]{}{\contentslabel{3em}}{\hspace*{-3.3em}}
{\titlerule*[0.3pc]{.}\contentspage}
\titlecontents{paragraph}[12.6em]{}{\contentslabel{3.7em}}{\hspace*{-3.7em}}
{\titlerule*[0.3pc]{.}\contentspage}


\begin{document}


\tableofcontents

\chapter[Title I want to see in TOC - short]{Title I am seeing in TOC - long}
This is chapter 1

\end{document}

It does not matter if I enter 

\usepackage[toctitles]{titlesec}

or just

\usepackage{titlesec}

I hope someone knows how to integrate this into what I have so far!

Cheers

  • \documentclass{amsbook} \begin{document} \tableofcontents \chapter[Capybara]{Wombat} \end{document} What i want to say: This is one of the documented features of amsbook. – Johannes_B Aug 02 '16 at 14:38
  • Sorry, I do not understand. Do you mean it is not possible with amsbook, or that it should be possible? In the second case, why is it not working (see my minimal example)? – summer Aug 02 '16 at 14:54
  • ams classes do not use the short versioni for the table of contents. Of course, you can redefine stuff and soon a ams person will come along and provide a solution. – Johannes_B Aug 02 '16 at 14:56
