Table of Contents Issue

Question

First time poster here. I am working on a table of contents and ran into a small problem.

I wanted to remove any bold-facing from the table of contents page. So that all headings and sub-headings appear in regular font. To do so, I used the following:

\usepackage{sectsty}

\let\LaTeXStandardTableOfContents\tableofcontents

\renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{%
\begingroup%
\renewcommand{\bfseries}{\relax}%
\LaTeXStandardTableOfContents%
\endgroup%
}%

However, I want the actual title of the page that reads “Contents” to be bold like the rest of chapter titles.

Is there a solution for this? Any thoughts would be appreciate

Answer 1

You could use a package like tocloft or tocbasic.

Example using tocloft:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}
\renewcommand\cftpartfont{\normalfont}
\renewcommand\cftpartpagefont{\normalfont}
\renewcommand\cftchapfont{\normalfont}
\renewcommand\cftchappagefont{\normalfont}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\part{First part}
\Blinddocument
\end{document}

Example using tocbasic:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\usepackage{tocbasic}
\DeclareTOCStyleEntry[
  indent=0pt,
  numwidth=0pt
]{tocline}{part}
\DeclareTOCStyleEntries[
  entryformat=\normalfont,
  pagenumberformat=\normalfont
]{tocline}{chapter,part}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\part{First part}
\Blinddocument
\end{document}
