Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ TOC numbering overlapping text

[nico]

Hi,

i changed the style of the section numbering in this way:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\thesection{\Roman{section}}

It works fine, but in the TOC the numbers overlapp the text as the numbers get larger. So how do I have to edit the renewcommand?

Here is a working example:

Code: Select all

%\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{scrartcl}
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}	%inputencoding
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}	%Silbentrennung
\usepackage[unicode,a4paper, colorlinks=true,linkcolor=black,citecolor=black]{hyperref}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper, portrait, left=2.5cm, right=3cm, top=2cm, bottom=2cm, includefoot, marginpar=2cm}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\renewcommand*\thesection{\Roman{section}}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\pagebreak
%------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Einleitung}
\subsection{Aufgabenstellung}
\subsection{Unterlagen, Vorgespräche}
\subsection{Quellen}
\renewcommand*{\refname}{\vspace*{-12mm}}
\bibliography{../../bsnLiteratur} 
\pagebreak
%------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Beschreibung des Objekts, Grundlagen}
\subsection{Lage, bauliche Merkmale}
\subsection{Raumnutzung}
\subsection{Betriebsbeschreibung}
\subsection{Baurechtliche Einordnung}
\subsection{Brand- und Explosionsgefahren}
\subsection{Brandszenarien}
\pagebreak
%------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Brandschutzanforderungen}
\subsection{Brandschutztrennung}
\subsection{Bemessung des Brandabschnitts}
\subsection{Baustoffe und Bauteile}
\subsection{Rettungswege}
\subsection{Rauchableitung}
\subsection{Wärmeabzug}
\subsection{Zugang und Zufahrten der Feuerwehr}
\subsection{Brandmeldung und Alarmierung}
\subsection{Löschwasserversorgung und Löschgerät}
\subsection{Sonstige Anforderungen}
\pagebreak
%------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Zusammenfassung}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\label{LastPage}
\end{document}

The problem appears in article and scrartcl (KOMA-Script). I use

Code: Select all

pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) (format=pdflatex 2010.5.17)

Thanks for any hints!!

Hi,

add the following lines to the preamble of your document:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
  \renewcommand\l@subsection{\@dottedtocline{2}{1.5em}{3em}}
\makeatother

Change the value for the last argument (I used 3em in my example code) according to your needs.

Thank you so much, gmedina! This is working great.

Hi,

Is there a way to do this only once and not for all the other chapters of the table of contents? Because otherwise there is too much white space between the numbers and the titles of the other chapters.

I would be very grateful for any tips!
