General ⇒ Table of contents across several pages

[Skyflash]

Hi Guys (& Gals),

This might be a stupid question but i'll go ahead and ask it anyway.

I have a table of contents spread across several pages and at the bottom of one page I have the entry for say section 6 but at the top of the next page is the entry for subsection 6.1. This looks quite naff and I was wondering if there was anyway around this so that the entries are on the same page?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

you could insert directly before section 6:

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\newpage}

Alternatively you could enlarge the first page of the toc before subsection 6.1 or earlier:

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\enlargethispage{\baselineskip}}

That's great, worked a treat. You've saved me countless hours!
