tabular
environment (or something
similar) was used.
This arrangement can provoke problems, most commonly with deep section
nesting or very large page numbers: the numbers in question just don’t
fit in the space allowed for them in the class.
A separate answer discusses
re-designing the tables
and techniques from that answer may be employed to make the numbers
fit:
The same command may be employed in documents typeset with the memoir package (by the same author as tocloft). Memoir has another mechanism for the job:\setlength\cftsectionnumwidth{4em}
\
cftsetindents{<kind>}{indent}{numwidth}
. Here
kind is chapter
, section
, or whatever; the
indent specifies the ‘margin’ before the entry starts; and the
width is of the box into which the number is typeset (so needs
to be wide enough for the largest number, with the necessary spacing
to separate it from what comes after it in the line.
