Latex Section/subsection titles to long for table of content {Latex->PS->PDF

Question

I got a problem with my current document. Some of the Section titles are fairly long and the linebreak won't work in the table of contents. For some reason it works when I compile it with texstudio. (where other stuff won't work) But when I compile it with texcenter and the profile LaTeX-PS-PDF it will produce a toc wich just looks horrible.

Has anyone an idea how I can fix it?

Answer 1

The dvips driver can't break links (this will perhaps change but not directly).

If you insist on the latex->ps route you can use the option breaklinks. This is okay for printing, but the linkarea will be wrong:

\documentclass[]{scrbook}

\usepackage[breaklinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{breakurl}


\begin{document}
    \tableofcontents
    \chapter{Chapter 1}
    \section{Section with a really really really long title I mean really really long title}
    \subsection{Even worse title for a subsection once you finished reading you feel like you read a book}
\end{document}

A better option (and the one recommended in the documentation of hyperref) is linktocpage which will put the links on the page numbers:

\usepackage[linktocpage]{hyperref}

Answer 2

The LaTeX sectioning commands all take an optional argument as well as the required one. If the optional argument is used then that will be used for the ToC and any page headings entries and the required argument for the section title in the document; otherwise the required argument is used for all three places.

\section[Short ToC entry]{Long main document title entry}
