Page Layout ⇒ Different spacing between section number and its caption TOC

[will_flp]

Hi,

I want to use two different spacing between section number and its caption in the Table of Contents (TOC)

I already have tried the solutions:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... -alignment
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... or-the-toc

But I think they are not suitable.

Well the minimal example is:

Code: Select all

Wich results in the figure below, depending on

\setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{4em}




Well, in the Annex I want more space, but I also want to keep the smaller spacing for the sections in the regular chapters.

Does anyone have a clue and/or can help ?

Thanks a lot !

For the record, here is the link to the crosspost in Tex Stackexchange.

Moreover, below you find the answer suggested by Werner.

The process might be somewhat counter-intuitive, but you need to insert the spacing changes mid-document for it to have a partial effect in the ToC. The reason for this is because of the entire .toc file is read during a call to \tableofcontents. Therefore, changing anything prior to that (in the preamble, for example), will have an effect on the entire ToC. The solution is to add

\addtocontents{toc}{\setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{4em}}

just after you initiate the Appendix. Since you're adding stuff to the ToC, results will only be visible upon the second compile (see the example below).
