I want to add "Chapter" word before chapter number in Table of Content. I have searched the solutions but the most answered question is when we using tocloft package that I didn't use. Can I give that word when using tocbibind package?

    Why don't you use tocloft then? Both packages are maintained by our fellow user Will Robertson and are compatible to each other,but do address different issues. tocbibind is basically only for the inclusion toc in toc, whereas tocloft does provide hooks to the toc - entries –  Nov 18 '15 at 08:58

The hard part was getting the hanging indentation right.

\documentclass{report}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\l@chapter[2]{%
  \ifnum \c@tocdepth >\m@ne
    \addpenalty{-\@highpenalty}%
    \vskip 1.0em \@plus\p@
    \setlength\@tempdima{1.5em}%
    \begingroup
      \settowidth{\@tempdimb}{\normalsize\bfseries \chaptername~}%
      \advance\leftskip by \@tempdimb
      \parindent \z@ \rightskip \@pnumwidth
      \parfillskip -\@tempdima
      \leavevmode \bfseries
      \advance\leftskip\@tempdima
      \hskip -\leftskip
      \chaptername~#1\nobreak\hfil \nobreak\hb@xt@\@pnumwidth{\hss #2}\par
      \penalty\@highpenalty
    \endgroup
  \fi}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{A very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long title}

\end{document}

toc with chapter

  • How can I remove the word 'chapter' before the list of figures ? – S_25 Jun 24 '17 at 20:02
  • @S_25 - Save and restore the original \l@chapter. Or just put the redefinition inside a group {...} with the TOC (but not the LOF). – John Kormylo Jun 24 '17 at 21:18
  • @JohnKormylo could you please show how to implement this for only chapters without the lists; example: list of figures, and appendices? – Ahmed Sayed Jul 12 '19 at 19:24
  • @AhmedSayed - As it turns out, my previous comment was invalid, since you have no control of \l@chapter while the TOC is being printed. One would need a way to distinguish between two different kinds of chapters. You might try asking a new question with a complete MWE. – John Kormylo Jul 13 '19 at 14:53
