Here is a method for putting the author name before the title of a chapter in the ToC. Add author before chapter title in ToC, I mean the answer https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/110256/80224.

This works perfectly fine. But suppose one author writes multiple chapters, and we would like the toc to look something like this :

Kafka
The Rejection...........7
The Judgement......77

Maupassant
Love..............15
Pierrot...........33

Tolstoy
Three questions....40.

That is, even if the works by a particular author are not in order, they are classed under the same Author in the ToC, with no repetitions of Author.

How should I modify the code given here https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/110256/80224?

Here is the code:

\documentclass[10pt,twoside]{memoir}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc} 

\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}

  • Please include the code you are interested in here. If that answer gets edited, this question becomes useless. I'm not sure you want a ToC at all. This looks more like an index to me. – cfr Jul 26 '15 at 15:04
  • As you already figured out: Adding the author name with \addtocontents is not difficult, grouping the chapters for the same author is a problem! Are you sticking to the code above? –  Jul 26 '15 at 15:30
  • No, I am not sticking to the code above. I would only like to have a toc which looks like the form I have shown. – usr203050 Jul 26 '15 at 16:29
  • @usr203050: Ok, I have some almost working version, but memoir is a little bit tricky ;-) –  Jul 26 '15 at 16:34
  • Please show me anything, may be I can adapt it somehow... :-) – usr203050 Jul 26 '15 at 16:35

Here's something that should be workable. It assumes you have a relatively small list of authors, since their names are hard-coded into the author list commands and files.

enter image description here

\documentclass{memoir}

\newcommand{\authortoc}[2]{
  \chapter{#2}
  \addcontentsline{#1}{chapter}{\numberline{#2}}\par%
}

\newcommand{\listkafkaname}{Kafka}
\newlistof{listofkafka}{kafka}{\listkafkaname}
\newcommand{\listmaupassantname}{Maupassant}
\newlistof{listofmaupassant}{maupassant}{\listmaupassantname}
\newcommand{\listtolstoyname}{Tolstoy}
\newlistof{listoftolstoy}{tolstoy}{\listtolstoyname}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents*

\listofkafka*
\listofmaupassant*
\listoftolstoy*

\authortoc{kafka}{The Rejection}

\authortoc{maupassant}{Love}

\authortoc{maupassant}{Pierrot}

\authortoc{tolstoy}{Three Questions}

\authortoc{kafka}{The Judgment}

Well, this is somewhat a hack...

The ordered appearance of \chapter in a ToC is 'messy' considered for the request, so I stored the contentslines in a Atoc, Btoc etc. file, where each author get's his own file, however only with 26 authors. If more is to be done, alphalph package will help ;-)

The \chapter macro does no longer write an entry to the ToC, but this can changed rather easily back to the defaults.

In the end (well, at the beginning actually), the \authortableofcontents collects all the individual Atoc etc. files and shows them a row.

The vertical spacing is wrong, most likely.

Edit A better version

Changes compared to the 1st version:

  • Added the \authortocname which means the heading name of the author toc content --> change with \renewcommand{\authortocname}{...} so something more appropiate
  • The \sections etc. can appear in the author toc now too
  • The number of authors isn't any longer limited to 26, since each author defines a number and the ending is .1toc, .2toc, etc.
  • It works with hyperref as long that package is loaded after all patching to \chapter etc. have been made.
