title: Modifying LaTeX Table of Contents to add a period after chapter/table/figure number
body: <p>I need to add a period after the chapter/table/figure number in each line in Table of Contents/LoT/LoF.</p>
  
  <p>ie, right now it shows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TABLES
  1   first
  2   second
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I need it to show:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TABLES
  1.  first
  2.  second
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know this can be done with the tocloft package, however, that package is conflicting with the latex style I'm using, with the error: <code>\c@lotdepth is already defined</code>. (The style is an old style for my university's thesis format, but it's slightly out of date, so I need to make some changes to get it right.</p>
  
  <p>I also found that I can change thechapter/thetable/thefigure, so those contain periods. However, that then messes up my references and has the period in all of my references.</p>
