tufte-book ToC problems: spacing between chapter title and section titles

[Sebastian Nowozin]

Hello,

I am currently writing my thesis using the tufte-book style and its
great. However, I have the following small problem.

When I use
\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}
the table of contents contains too few spacing between a chapters last
section and the next chapter's title. Additionally there is too much
spacing between a chapter title and the chapter's first section title.

Is this a known problem?

Thanks,
Sebastian

Hello, Sebastian.

Yeah, this is on my list. So far, I've only designed the TOC down to
the chapter headings.

I've got some other code to finish up first, but if you'd like to take
a stab at the TOC design, look in the tufte-common.sty file toward the
bottom (search for "main TOC"); you'll want to add more \titlecontents
to format the other heading styles.

Alternatively, you can toss out the Tufte-style TOC for the time being
by passing the 'notoc' option to the documentclass:

\documentclass[notoc]{tufte-book}

This will ignore the Tufte-style TOC and just use LaTeX's default TOC
formatting.
