[comp.text.tex] ** HELP for \linebreak in a \tableofcontents **

plaut@sc2a.unige.ch (12/05/90)

Is there a possibility to define where to induce a \linebreak
for a long \contentsline in the \tableofcontents ?

In the example shown below, LaTeX breaks the word POLLUTION
(POL\-LUTION) and the result in really ugly.

I tried to put a \mbox{POLLUTION}, but the result is
no linebreak at all and of course a hbox overflow.

I would like to break the title between ORGANIQUES and POLLUTION.
Has some an idee ?

Thank you.
