Re: Table of Contents: 2 problems

[Hwaen Ch'uqi]

Greetings David,

Please forgive me if I misunderstood your meaning, but here is perhaps
a solution, albeit less elegant, for your second issue? Perhaps your
\paper block can reflect the margins which you would like for the
Table of Contents, but for the preceding paragraphs of text on the
same page, you could use

\override-lines #'(line-width . 100) { . . . }

to affect those particular margins.
