Description
In my edition, there are some longer section titles that exceed multiple lines. When the length of a heading exceeds a certain limit, not all of its lines are counted, so that apparatus entries in them may have wrong line numbers and lines from following paragraphs also do not have the right number.
In the minimal working example, the first chapter heading spans five lines. But only two of them are counted. I would expect the following paragraph to start with line number 6, not 3.
I can not figure out, if the limit, above which the problem occurs, is bound to lines printed out or count of words.
The problem occurs with all of the section levels reledmac provides.
Minimal Working Example
\documentclass{book}
% for bigger font sizes %\usepackage[fontsize=14pt]{scrextend}
\usepackage{ifluatex} \ifluatex %% for luatex \usepackage[utf8]{luainputenc} \usepackage{luabidi} \else %% for pdftex \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}% \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}% \fi
\usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel}
\usepackage{reledmac}
% number every line beginning from the first \firstlinenum{1} \linenumincrement{1}
\begin{document}
\beginnumbering
\pstart \eledchapter{There is a Problem with Headings when they Exceed a Certain Length: Lines Above a Limit are not Assigned a Number.} \pend
\pstart Sorry, for stating something obvious\ldots \pend
\pstart Sorry, for stating something obvious\ldots \pend
\pstart \eledchapter{This Chapter Title Spans Two Lines} \pend
\pstart Two-liners are broken, too.\ldots \pend
\pstart \eledchapter{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21} \pend
\pstart Is it count of printed-out lines or count of words, what causes the problem? \pend
\pstart \eledsection{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30} \pend
\pstart Is this limit fixed? Or does it alter with the font size? \pend
\pstart \eledsection{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40} \pend
\pstart Is this limit fixed? Or does it alter with the font size? \pend
\endnumbering

None that I know of.

Oh, what a pitty! However, thanks for your great work on this irreplacable package!
If you have an idea about this issue, even the slightest idea, or if you can point me to a range in the dtx file, please let me know.
I'm using a simple workaround: redefining the \eledxxxx
section commands like so:
\usepackage{ifthen}
\newcommand*{\mysectionfont}[1]{\Large #1}
\renewcommand{\eledsection}[2][]{%
\mysectionfont{#2}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{}}{%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#2}}{%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#1}}%
}
Turned out, that putting vertical skips into this macro, results in the similar errors: broken line numbers and echos like described in #977. I put vertical spacing outside of \pstart ... \pend
and everything is fine.
A workaround is not a solution, I reopen
Instead of redefining, you should use a \patchmd
method
I've found the code where the \eledxxxx
sectioning commands hand over to well-known \section
etc. However, I did not yet understand how this handing over is exactly done.
I also investigated on \@startsection
from ltsect.dtx
(find it via kpsewhere ltsect.dtx
) which is the "mother of all user level sectioning commands". But my efforts to patch it to get rid of vertical spacing failed. So, I ended up with a re-definition of \eledxxxx
.
My point is that in general, you should not redefine command, but only patching them using etooblbox tools.
