- Would some kind soul take pity on me? I am writing a paper. I need to
- use roman numerals for the section numbers. No problem. I Read The
- Friendly Manual (Lamport) and found that I need to do
- \renewcommand{\thesection}{\Roman{section}}.
- Fine. It's in the manual in so many words. What *isn't* in the manual
- is that the above command wrecks the table of contents. The first item
- (I) looks fine in the table of contents. The third item (III) is
- crowded against the section heading. By the seventh item the roman
- numerals overlap with the section heading.
-
- The LaTeX book is no help on this whatsoever. I've tried reading the
- LaTeX source, but I can't quite figure out what to do. Can someone
- show me what I have to redefine to get a reasonable amount of space
- between my numbers and section headings in the table of contents?
- Thanks much.
