Page Layout ⇒ Long Section Title in Table of Contents

[bkarpuz]

Dear friends,

how can I divide a section title into two lines if the title is very long.
please see the code below.

Code: Select all

\tableofcontents

\section*{\centering MyLongSectionTitleNeedsToBeSplittedIntoTwoLines}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{MyLongSectionTitleNeedsToBeSplittedIntoTwoLines}

thanks.

This looks like a job for optional hyphens:

Code: Select all

\tableofcontents

\section*{\centering My\-Really\-Really\-Really\-Really\-Long\-Section\-Title\-Needs\-To\-Be\-Splitted\-Into\-Two\-Lines}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{My\-Really\-Really\-Really\-Really\-Long\-Sectio-Title\-Needs\-To\-Be\-Splitted\-Into\-Two\-Lines}

Incidentally, it's only having trouble because you have no spaces in the word. If you give it a title with spaces, TeX will break the lines automatically.

Thanks it worked.
