Would some kind soul take pity on me? I am writing a paper. I need to
use roman numerals for the section numbers. No problem. I Read The
Friendly Manual (Lamport) and found that I need to do
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Roman{section}}.
Fine. It's in the manual in so many words. What *isn't* in the manual
is that the above command wrecks the table of contents. The first item
(I) looks fine in the table of contents. The third item (III) is
crowded against the section heading. By the seventh item the roman
numerals overlap with the section heading.
The LaTeX book is no help on this whatsoever. I've tried reading the
LaTeX source, but I can't quite figure out what to do. Can someone
show me what I have to redefine to get a reasonable amount of space
between my numbers and section headings in the table of contents?
Thanks much.
