Page Layout ⇒ Problem with table of contents

[ciema7]

Hello,

I have some problems with my ToC. Is there a simply way to align better long sections names ? I add photo, which ilustrates my problem (section 2).

[Johannes_B]

This completely depends on the class you are using and maybe packages used to customize chapter headings. Can you show a minimal working example?

[ciema7]

Thanks for reply! I present my code below (it is long because its my master thesis code, maybe the problem is with these 4 rows started with \tolerance=1 ?):

Hello,

that centering here causes it:

Code: Select all

\begin{centering}
\tableofcontents
\end{centering}

Just change to

Code: Select all

\tableofcontents

and test again. Compile two times to update the table of contents.

I guess all your section headings are left aligned. In that case I would be consistent and let the contents (section) heading left aligned too. If you really would like to have this single heading of the contents to be centered, let us know, there would be a different way.

Stefan

[ciema7]

Thank you very much, it works, but here is my another question . Is there any simple way to not divide my last word in the any row in table of contest and not to throwing the part of the word to the next row (below), but whole this (divided) word throw to the next row?

PS. Stefan you can edit your previous post and delete this " } " from the second code, you provided Just formality. Thanks again for help!!!

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Here is a way:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{tocstyle}
\usetocstyle{standard}
\settocfeature{raggedhook}{\raggedright}

Usage of tocstyle is deprecated and not recommended. But you can get a similar result using:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{tocbasic}% One more KOMA-Script package added.
% Using tocbasic to make the table of contents:
\renewcommand*{\tableofcontents}{\listoftoc[\contentsname]{toc}}
\DeclareTOCStyleEntries[raggedentrytext]{tocline}{section,subsection,subsubsection,paragraph,subparagraph}

Here added to the original code. Please have a look to my additional comments in this code:

BTW: A more minimal but working example for the problem would be:
