So I am writing a programming book and I decided to include \sections in the ToC as well (see picture below). The problem I am having is that I have ugliness where \chapter is the last item on the page and only on the next page I have the \sections for that chapter (see the very end of picture).

How can I fix ToC to move this 3 Text Conversion and Substitution to a new page rather than leaving it hanging on the current page?

I am using memoir class, btw.

insert before the third chapter:

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\newpage}

Another aolution is to introduce stretchability to the space above chapters in the toc, something like

\setlength{\cftbeforechapterskip}{1.0em plus 0.3em minus 0.1em}

that is what I normally do

Shouldn't that be \cftbeforechapskip? – Tom Aug 27 '12 at 20:51
if you are using tocloft yes, I usually use memoir, where it is renamed \cftbeforechapterskip – daleif Aug 28 '12 at 21:24
