mc-auto-number-offset issue in ToC

Post by AlanKearns »

I am having a lot of trouble with legal numbering format in my print ToC. I am trying to get 3 or 4 mm of space between the autonumber and the chapter title (without hard-coding multiple spaces into my autonumber). Also wrapping long titles under themself, not their preceding autonumber.

I find that this:

Code: Select all

mc-auto-number-position: outside-head;
margin-left: 3mm;
mc-auto-number-offset: 8mm;
mc-multiline-indent: 0mm;
Includes a nice offset space, but on long titles, the autonumber is vertically-centred between two lines of entry. Whereas this:

Code: Select all

mc-auto-number-position: float-left;
margin-left: 3mm;
mc-auto-number-offset: 5mm;
mc-multiline-indent: 8mm;
Correctly aligns the autonumber with the top line and puts nice space on the second line, but ignores the mc-autonumber-offset so that the first line text is too close to the autonumber.

Any idea how I do both? After all, 'both' is a very normal thing to want.

Just bumping this query. I was expecting setting a vertical-align to it might have done something, but it doesn't. The auto section number stubbornly remains in the middle of however many rows in the ToC entry the section title takes up.
