Bold in section title, but now also bold in TOC

Post by dax42 »

Hi there,

in one of my subsection titles I have a subscript, which did not get turned bold. Hence I used textbf. However, this means that now in the table of contents, this particular subscript is also bold! That just looks weird...

Any idea how I could have it bold in the subsection title, but not in the TOC?
Thanks!

You could use the optional parameter to \subsection:

Code: Select all

\subsection[title to appear to TOC]{title to appear in body}
or there might be other alternatives depending on exactly what's going on here. (In that case, a minimal working example would be helpful.)

Ha! Sometimes the easiest solutions just won't come to mind.
Thanks!
