Text Formatting ⇒ Table of Contents Ellipsis and Page Numbers

[swiftfoottim]

I'm currently working on formatting my table of contents for my thesis and need a little help figuring out how to accomplish the dotted line between a section and the page number.

It currently appears with an entry like:

Code: Select all

הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I need to flush the ellipses both on the left and on the right so it should appear as:

Code: Select all

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In other words, there shouldn't be any space between the dots and the entries. I also need to maintain the right justification of the page numbering as the \setpnumwidth{-.5mm} didn't work.

Any guidance would be awesome. Currently, my ToC rules are(Memoir Class):

I think the default is to only include space up to the first dot anyway. If you think TeX could have squeezed one more dot in, you can fake it out by using \! or another negative spacing command.

Please provide a proper minimal working example (read the link!) I'm a bit too tired today to try to make up the rest of a fake document for testing purposes. That should be your job if you want people to try to help you.
