General ⇒ Indentation and Formatting for ToC

[nynoles]

Hello everyone,

I am working on organizing my ToC and I'm using tocloft. My question is related to the indents associated with sections and subsections in an article.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{tocloft}

\renewcommand{\cftsecfont}{\normalsize}
\renewcommand{\cftsubsecfont}{\normalsize}
\renewcommand{\cftsubsubsecfont}{\normalsize}

\setlength{\cftsecindent}{0em}
\setlength{\cftsubsecindent}{0em}
\setlength{\cftsubsubsecindent}{0em}

\setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{3.5em}
\setlength{\cftsubsecnumwidth}{3.5em}
\setlength{\cftsubsubsecnumwidth}{3.5em}

For some reason the section and subsection works fine, but the sub-subsection number is both indented slightly and doesn't show all three digits of "1.1.1". It stops at "1.1".

Any help at all would be much appreciated.

You may wonder why you didn't get an answer yet. This is due to the fact that the code fragments don't allow to reproduce the problem. Hence you should try harder to make the problem comprehensible for others by preparing a self-contained and minimal example.

If I complete your code snippet to such an example, it works as expected with complete heading numbers in the ToC.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\renewcommand{\cftsecfont}{\normalsize}
\renewcommand{\cftsubsecfont}{\normalsize}
\renewcommand{\cftsubsubsecfont}{\normalsize}

\setlength{\cftsecindent}{0em}
\setlength{\cftsubsecindent}{0em}
\setlength{\cftsubsubsecindent}{0em}

\setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{3.5em}
\setlength{\cftsubsecnumwidth}{3.5em}
\setlength{\cftsubsubsecnumwidth}{3.5em}

\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents

  \blinddocument
\end{document}

Perhaps you should also think about customizing the page number font for section entries determined by \cftsecpagefont because with your settings they still appear bold in opposite to the numbers and headings.

Now it's your turn to show a counterexample.
