The Problem with Long Titles in Generated Lists

[Fred Ridder]

But note that this approach has an unwanted (and probably unacceptable) side effect if your generated list uses leader dots. The problem is that the em-spaces produce a really noticeable gap between the end of the title string and the start of the leader dots.

The approach that Jerilynne proposed yesterday works well (although only one extra tab is needed in the reference page prototype paragraph rather than the "at least 3" that Jerilynne mentions) and has no nasty side effect. It has worked beautifully for me for years.

Subject: The Problem with Long Titles in Generated Lists

After sending my previous email, I found a solution. I simply added a variable with three em spaces (\sm\sm\sm) at the end of the long titles. For some reason, just adding the em spaces directly on the line didn't work. If anyone has a more elegant solution, I'd love to know about it.
