Spacing issues in list of equations

Question

I've used this code to create a list of equations into my document of type report

\begin{document}
% config for the list of equations
\newcommand{\listequationsname}{Liste des Equations}
\newlistof{myequations}{equ}{\listequationsname}
\newcommand{\myequations}[1]{%
\addcontentsline{equ}{myequations}{\protect\numberline{\theequation}#1}\par}
\renewcommand{\cftpartleader}{\cftdotfill{\cftdotsep}} 
\renewcommand{\cftchapleader}{\cftdotfill{\cftdotsep}} 
\tableofcontents
\clearpage
\listoffigures
\clearpage
\listoftables
\clearpage
\listofalgorithms
\clearpage
\listofmyequations

the problem is that the spacing is not okey

Welcome to tex.sx. This question might give some help: How to modify the space between the numbers and text of sectioning titles in the table of contents? — barbara beeton, Apr 25 '21 at 17:02

I don't really know how the OP is using it, because the OP failed to provide a minimum working example. However, it was clear that tocloft is being used. And in this case, the key is something like \setlength{\cftmyequationsnumwidth}{1in}.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tocloft}
% config for the list of equations
\newcommand{\listequationsname}{Liste des Equations}
\newlistof{myequations}{equ}{\listequationsname}
\newcommand{\myequations}[1]{%
\addcontentsline{equ}{myequations}{\protect\numberline{\theequation}#1}\par}
\setlength{\cftmyequationsnumwidth}{1in}
\begin{document}
\listofmyequations
\begin{equation}
y = mx + b
\end{equation}
\myequations{The linear equation}
\begin{equation}
E = mc^2
\end{equation}
\myequations{The energy equation}
\end{document}

Thanks, this solution is exactly what I wanted. – Mehdi CHEBBAH Apr 27 '21 at 13:01 — Mehdi CHEBBAH, Apr 27 '21 at 13:01
