Hmm, I searched for \dp and found nothing on the net about this command.

I replaced it with \ssp and \tsp (for small space, and tiny space), so no harm!

Thanks Stefan.

I just defined this simple macro: \newcommand*{\dp}{\hspace{0.5pt}} Then, using \dp in mathmode gives an halting error: Missing number, treated as zero. and Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted). So what is wrong with calling my macro "dp" ? Three letters keyword works: "dpt", bu...

I think I got it, but I need a confirmation that's a proper way of doing this: \RequirePackage[l2tabu, orthodox]{nag} \documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,twoside]{book} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[french]{babel} \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage[total={6in,10in},left=...

I'm having lots of troubles customizing my very large ToC, using the toclof package. Here's a MWE example that shows what I'm trying to achieve. Currently, the spacings are done by eyes only, and I don't understand well the commands used in that code, even after trial and mistakes: \RequirePackage[l...

The tocstyle package is very cryptic. It is not clear how to customize a few things like the presentation of the chapter number, and the subsubsection alignment.

I'm beginning to be frustrated with this thing. LaTeX is so hard to customise for a few simple things!

I'm experiencing other troubles, even using your suggestion: \RequirePackage[l2tabu, orthodox]{nag} \documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,twoside]{book} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage[total={6in,10in},left=1.5in,top=0.5in,includehead,includefoot]{geometry} ...

This is what I'm testing. I want to reduce that insane number of pages!

Using 11pts doesn't reduce it much. But then I have used a lot of contraints in the document, and I'll need to clean all this.

Wow! Thanks Stefan. Using your suggestion appears to fix the issue: \usepackage[titles]{tocloft} \setcounter{tocdepth}{3} \renewcommand{\cftdotsep}{2} \renewcommand{\cftsubsubsecfont}{\normalfont\sffamily\footnotesize}% \renewcommand{\cftchappresnum}{\chaptername\ } \renewcommand{\cftchapaftersnumb}...

I was thinking about 10pts too. 10pts is standard for most LaTeX classes? I thought it was too small.

I agree that 12pts is a bit too big. My 2000 pages document was written in 12pts, and I want to change that.

I believed that there were some standards about font size, and that maybe 11pts isn't a good choice since it's a prime number, while 12pts could be a good base number.
