I'm modifying the report format in the preamble and I need to indent the following lines (circled in red) of a multi-line title in the table of contents by an additional 0.25" from the first line (hanging indent of 0.25in). From doing a bit of reading it seems like using \cftchapnumwidth from tocloft may be the answer, but \setlength{\cftchapnumwidth}{0.25in} doesn't seem to change anything. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

enter image description here

LaTeX code to generate this is:

  • Are you trying to achieve hanging indentation? Please advise. – Mico Jan 17 '22 at 04:38
  • Yes, a hanging indent seems to be the name for what I'm trying to do. I'd like the second line of a long entry to be indented an additional 0.25 inches relative to the first line of that entry. – ailich Jan 17 '22 at 14:26
  • Please provide an MWE (from \documentclass... to \end{document}) that we can compile that shows your problem. Your exhibited code has no\documentclass` or anything that would populate the ToC. Most of the code you showed had nothing to do with your problem. – Peter Wilson Jan 17 '22 at 19:02
  • Thanks Peter. I have added LaTex code that can be compiled to recreate the example. – ailich Jan 17 '22 at 20:56

Got a response on github that was able to get this working using a combination of cftXindent, \cftXnumwidth and \cftXaftersnumb. Choosing \cftXnumwidth requires a bit of trial and error to find values that work for each heading level.

\renewcommand{\cftchapindent}{0.25in} %Set indents to increase by 0.5 inches per level (1)
\renewcommand{\cftchapaftersnumb}{\hspace*{-0.635cm}} %hanging indent for sections that take up more than one line (level 2)

\renewcommand{\cftsecindent}{0.75in} %Set indents to increase by 0.5 inches per level (2)
\renewcommand{\cftsecnumwidth}{1.5cm} %off set hanging indent for long section lines below (level 2)
\renewcommand{\cftsecaftersnumb}{\hspace*{-0.635cm}} %hanging indent for sections that take up more than one line (level 2)


\renewcommand{\cftsubsecindent}{1.25in} %Set indents to increase by 0.5 inches per level (3)
\renewcommand{\cftsubsecnumwidth}{1.7cm} %off set hanging indent for long section lines below (level 3)
\renewcommand{\cftsubsecaftersnumb}{\hspace*{-0.635cm}}%hanging indent for sections that take up more than one line (level 3)


\renewcommand{\cftsubsubsecindent}{1.75in} %Set indents to increase by 0.5 inches per level (4)
\renewcommand{\cftsubsubsecnumwidth}{1.8cm} %off set hanging indent for long section lines below (level 4)
\renewcommand{\cftsubsubsecaftersnumb}{\hspace*{-0.635cm}}%hanging indent for sections that take up more than one line (level4)


\renewcommand{\cftparaindent}{2.25in} %Set indents to increase by 0.5 inches per level (5)
\renewcommand{\cftparanumwidth}{2.1cm} %off set hanging indent for long section lines below (level 5)
\renewcommand{\cftparaaftersnumb}{\hspace*{-0.635cm}}%hanging indent for sections that take up more than one line (level 5)


\renewcommand{\cftsubparaindent}{2.75in} %Set indents to increase by 0.5 inches per level (6)
\renewcommand{\cftsubparanumwidth}{2.4cm} %off set hanging indent for long section lines below (level 6)
\renewcommand{\cftsubparaaftersnumb}{\hspace*{-0.635cm}}%hanging indent for sections that take up more than one line (level 6)


\renewcommand{\cftchappresnum}{\chaptername\space} %Have Toc say "Chapter" followed by number 
\setlength{\cftchapnumwidth}{2.5cm} %Space so caption doesn't overlap "Chapter" number in TOC (added 0.5cm to offset hanging indent)
