General ⇒ ToC, LoF and LoT Entries sometimes overflow

[rohit]

My school wants the entries in the table of contents, list of figures, etc. to end about 3/4th of the way from the right hand side. To do this I'm using the tocloft package and the following command:

Code: Select all

\cftsetrmarg{1in}

The following without using the tocloft package produces the same results:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@tocrmarg}{1in}
\makeatother

However, there are still some entries which exceed the margin setting I'm giving here. If these entries had their last line split, they would most likely have only one or two words in the new line. Unfortunately, this behavior doesn't quite look good.

Using

Code: Select all

\cftsetpnumwidth{1in}

in addition to what I've corrects the problem above, but introduces the problem that the dots don't go all the way to the page number, which looks weird.

Essentially, I want latex to split the entries (lines) in the list of figures, even if splitting it would produce short lines with only one or two words.

Any suggestions on how to do this will be greatly appreciated,
Rohit
