ToC spacing between individual section numbering and title

numberingspacingtable of contents

Using the tocloft package and \setlength\cftsubsubsecnumwidth{4em} successfully changes the spacing of all subsubsection numbering and titles in the table of content.

How do I change the spacing only for subsubsections 1.10.10 and 1.10.11 to mach the spacing of previous subsubsections as the title and numbering "10" and "11" are too close.

Mwe:

\documentclass[oneside,12pt]{extarticle}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{tocloft}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\section{title}
\setcounter{subsection}{9}
    \subsection{title}
    \setcounter{subsubsection}{7}
        \subsubsection{title}
        \subsubsection{title}
        \subsubsection{title}
        \subsubsection{title}
    
\end{document}

Best Answer

For the odd sectional unit you could consider adding an additional space (like a tie ~) into the ToC entry:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tocloft}

\setlength{\cftsubsubsecnumwidth}{3.5em}% Or whatever default you set for this sectional unit

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\section{title}

\setcounter{subsection}{9}
\subsection{title}

\setcounter{subsubsection}{7}
\subsubsection{title}
\subsubsection{title}
\subsubsection[~title]{title}% Alternative title in ToC
\subsubsection[~title]{title}% Alternative title in ToC
\subsubsection[~title]{title}% Alternative title in ToC

\end{document}
