When looking for some inspiration for how to come up with a template for my thesis, I came across the wonderful classicthesis package. Since I'm working on some very progressive material, however, I was more looking for a modernthesis kind of style and am now composing that for my own taste.

One thing I really like about classicthesis is that the page numbers appear right after section titles in the table of contents. I would also like to have that for my documents, which use KOMA-Script throughout. How can I do that?

You could use the tocstyle package which is distributed as part of KOMA-Script.

EDIT: The nopagecolumn style uses \normalfont for the page numbers of all sectioning levels; by disabling this for level 1 (section), page numbers will resemble titles (\sffamily\bfseries).

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{tocstyle}
\usetocstyle{nopagecolumn}

% Disabling special font commands for sectioning level 1 (section)
\settocstylefeature[1]{pagenumberhook}{}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\section{bla}

\subsection{blubb}

\section{foo}

\subsection{bar}

\end{document}

  • This works almost perfectly, thanks! The only issue is that the page number style is strangely altered. Observe for example the 1 behind 1 - bla 1. It is now not bold and sans-serif anymore, but just like all others. Any way to work around this? Or is it maybe even better this way?

  • @tehingo You're welcome! With regard to your "is it maybe even better" question: I prefer the default behaviour (\normalfont for all page numbers), but there's no "right" or "wrong" here.

For those who want to achieve page numbers right after titles using tocloft because this package is already used in their class, this works:

%MWE ONLY
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[lf]{MinionPro} % In this case we have to load the font package!!!
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\cftpagenumbersoff{chapter}
\cftsetindents{figure}{0em}{3em}
\cftsetindents{table}{0em}{3em}
\renewcommand{\cftsecleader}{\hspace{.5em}}
\renewcommand{\cftsecafterpnum}{\cftparfillskip}
\renewcommand{\cftsubsecleader}{\hspace{.5em}}
\renewcommand{\cftsubsecafterpnum}{\cftparfillskip}           
%\renewcommand{\cftchapafterpnum}{\vspace{5pt}}
\newcommand{\secfont}{\fontfamily{MinionPro-OsF}\selectfont}
\renewcommand{\cftsecpagefont}{\secfont\color{blue}}
\renewcommand{\cftsubsecpagefont}{\secfont\color{blue}}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\section{bla}

\subsection{blubb}

\section{foo}

\subsection{bar}

\end{document}

If you now include this piece of code in your thesis and use a better color you will get a result like the following:

  • I copied this code but it didn't work as your image is showing. In particular it worked fine just for the sections, but not for subsec. & subsubsec. Can u tell me why?

  • @Francesco I think that the class I used redefined some commands I missed. Thanks for the hint! I'll fix this asap.

  • @Francesco The solution is to also insert for example \renewcommand{\cftsecfont}{\sffamily\bfseries} or \renewcommand{\cftsubsecfont}{...}. You can find all these commands in texdoc tocloft. I hope that helps.

With an uptodate KOMA-Script Version (3.20 or newer) there is no additional package needed:

\documentclass{scrartcl}[2016/05/19]% needs version 3.20 or newer

\RedeclareSectionCommands[
  tocraggedpagenumber,
  toclinefill=\hspace{1em}
]{section,subsection,subsubsection,paragraph,subparagraph}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{bla}
\subsection{blubb}
\section{foo}
\subsection{bar}
\end{document}
