Does anyone of you know how to format a ToC created with the minitoc
package in LaTeX? My problem is that I always get the following warning:
./hauptdokument.mtc.1:21:Overfull \hbox (2.83262 pt too wide) detected
This happens if the page number is greater than 10 e. g. 1-10 or 1-12. I've read the minitoc
documentation but I didn't find a solution to widen the box around the page numbers so I appreciate any help you could give.
I use the following commands to format my minitoc:
\mtcselectlanguage{german}
\renewcommand{\mtcSfont}{\small\rm}
\dominitoc

The warning is not specific to
minitoc
. The standard classes typeset ToC page numbers in a box of width\@pnumwidth
(note: this is a command, not a length), andminitoc
adopts the setting of\@pnumwidth
. The command's default value is 1.55em, which is sufficient for three-digit numbers. In your case, the warning disappears by setting\@pnumwidth
to 2.5em.
