Anyway here are the intances for `Homology Theory', James Vick, GTM #145, Springer. The leaders could be \leaders\hbox{\kern\@tempdimc\hbox{leader@action}} or xleaders...? as this would make the effect of leaders-sep easier to guess. \DeclareCollectionInstance{homology}{contentsobject}{chapter}{JK} {number-format=\textsc{Chapter~ #1}\\, boxed-number=false, pre-v-action= \addvspace{10pt}, leaders-sep= 1.5pt} \DeclareCollectionInstance{homology}{contentsobject}{section}{JK} { object-indent=12pt, number-format=\relax, leaders-sep = 1.5pt} And contentsobject template contains \if@boxed@number \IfNoValueT{#3}{\def\COnumber@format##1{\hfil}} \hbox to \@tempdima {\COnumber@format{#3}} \else \IfNoValueT{#3}{\def\COnumber@format##1{\relax}} {\COnumber@format{#3}} \fi
