I want to use \leftskip in my document to achieve a specific layout effect.

Note I'm using titlesec to format headings separately (I don't want leftskip on these).

But how can I get the \tableofcontents to apply \leftskip?

enter image description here

MWE

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{titlesec,blindtext}

\leftskip=6cm


\begin{document}


\tableofcontents
\blinddocument


\end{document}

  • \leftskip is a tx primiive that should never be set directly (you mess up any latex lists) as latx needs \hsize, @totallftmargin,\leftmargin,\linewidh` to have compatible values. th table of conens in particular is (usually) a lis and sets is own indent, thre are several packags that hlp wih toc formatting you could specify a large left margin using on of those article section toc lins for example set with l@section defind in article.cls that resets leftskip (along wih other things) – David Carlisle Mar 23 '22 at 00:47
  • @DavidCarlisle Thanks, I didn't realise \leftskip was like this. I just found an answer you posted (https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/183572/266909) which lead me to the discover the changepage package as a way to achieve indented paragraphs. – Finley Mar 23 '22 at 01:07
