TOC made with XRef needs line break in middle of line(s)

[Art Campbell]

I can't think of an easy way to make your lines break, but I would
propose an alternate solution that would mostly automate the
procedure.

Follow the KISS principle and just add several more standard TOCs, one
for each section. Turn on the hyperlinks, etc.

Each time you update the book and the TOCs, you'd need to open each
section TOC and delete the not-in-that-section items, but otherwise
your line break tools and standards would continue to work.
