The book I am republishing contains the transcriptions of lectures given at a certain date. In the table of content, I need an additional column after the title of the lecture (chapter title), where the date of the lecture is called.
I've tried to use some of the answers here (Add extra columns to table of contents) but that didn't answer my question.
I was trying to figure this out with the tocloft
package but not sure how I'm going to get there. I'd like to call the following an MWE, but it's not really working for me so far ...
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\title{test}
\author{name}
\date{now}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\renewcommand{\cftchappresnum}{input?}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand\cftchapdotsep{\cftdotsep}
\tableofcontents
\chapter*{first lecture title}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{first lecture title}
\chapter*{second lecture title}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{second lecture title}
\chapter*{third lecture title}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{third lecture title}
\end{document}
What I'm trying to produce is a ToC like this:
I'm at the beginning of this project so happy to also get related advice re structuring/document class use/anything that can get me started in the right direction.
