* Export bug: LaTeX TOC headline numbers above 100 overlap headline

When the headline count for a pdftolatex export gets to be more than 100 lines, the TOC renders with the headline number directly touching the headline text. More than 1,000, and it starts to overlap.

It would seem that LaTeX calculates the space to allocate for the headline number based on too few initial entries.

I have included a simple test case below.

Thanks,
Jeff

This is a LaTeX issue, which I do not know how to fix.

* Executive Summary

Add the following two lines to the org file (after ensuring you have
the tocloft.sty package installed and visible to LaTeX).
 #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{tocloft}
 #+LaTeX_HEADER: \setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{3em}

* Supporting Jabber

The formatting for Table of Contents (and its kin) is set deep in the
class definitions.  The tocloft package provides user-level commands
to modify those internals which the tocloft documentation describes
quite well, including a figure that shows a value called 'numwidth' is
the length of the box in which the number is set.  This value can be
different for each sectioning level (e.g. chapter, section,
subsection).  In the test case below, the first org level[1] is being
exported as a \section{}.  The box length for section can be set by
the value of \cftsecnumwidth using the \setlength command, as in
     \setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{3em}
The second argument must have a unit of length which in this example
is 'em' (the width of a capital M).  This allows the width of the box
to scale with font changes, but other units are certainly permissible
(e.g. cm, mm, in).


Good morning,
Tim


[1] Note: This test case was run using the default org export
variables for LaTeX which means the article class was used.  If
another class is used (e.g. report) then the first org level should be
exported as a \chapter{}.  In this case, replace \cftsecnumwidth with
\cftchapnumwidth.

Wow, Tim, thanks a lot for this excellent answer.
I am glad this is in the mailing list archive now.
