[Tex/LaTex] Update Legrand Orange Book template mini table of contents

book-designtable of contents

In the latest Legrand Orange Book template, in the mini table of the table of contents at the start of a 'Part', if a Chapter or subsection is too long, the words get broken up in a "not presentable" fashion:

enter image description here

Could you point out where in the structure.tex file that you can modify the length of this mini page so that I can get more space for the Chapter/Section/Subsection headings. Or alternatively, to keep the same spacing but break up the line into two lines only in this mini page environment…

Best Answer

Line 391 in structure.tex reads:

\node[anchor=south east] at (\paperwidth-1cm,-\paperheight+1cm){\parbox[t][][t]{8.5cm}{

In this line:

  • -1cm is the miniTOC margin from the right boundary of the page (negative number)
  • +1cm is the miniTOC margin from the bottom boundary of the page (positive number)
  • 8.5cm is the width of the miniTOC

You should increase 8.5cm to allow for a wider miniTOC
