新列表中的间距

Question

我正在尝试为 制作一个漂亮的目录 (toc) {book}。我的书中有一个表格列表和一个新列表，它们都出现在目录中。

当列表中的项目编号多于一位数字时，需要调整间距以防止项目部分编号碰到项目名称。

我在序言中使用\setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{3em}/\setlength{\cfttabnumwidth}{3em}来更改章节 / 表格列表的间距，效果很好。

但我仍然需要调整新列表的间距

我努力了

\setlength{\cftscinumwidth}{3em} 在新列表中调整间距，但\cftscinumwidth定义不太明确，所以这不起作用。

我如何控制新列表中的间距？

代码

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{3em} % sets space in section numbering
\setlength{\cfttabnumwidth}{3em} % sets space in table numbering 
% \setlength{\cftscinumwidth}{3em} % ERROR % sets space in scientists numbering 

\newlistof{scientists}{sci} {\listscientisttitle} 
\newcommand \listscientisttitle {List of Scientists}
\newcommand \scientistlist [1]  {%
  \refstepcounter{scientists}
  \addcontentsline{sci}{scientists}
  {\protect\numberline{\thechapter.\thescientists} #1}%
}
\newcommand \scientist [1] {\scientistlist{#1}{\underline{Scientist}: #1}}
