It's probably that my fix is not exactly awesome code ;-)

My fix:

# Issue 117: add extra TOC levelStyles. 9-deep should be enough.
for i in range(4):
	ps=toc.levelStyles[2].__class__(name='Level%d'%(i+5),
		parent=toc.levelStyles[2],
		leading=toc.levelStyles[2].leading,
		firstlineIndent=toc.levelStyles[2].firstLineIndent,
		leftIndent=toc.levelStyles[-1].leftIndent+1*cm)
	toc.levelStyles.append(ps)

Here is the error:

    ps=toc.levelStyles[2].__class__(name='Level%d'%(i+5),
IndexError: list index out of range

I understand in SVN I am supposed to use getLevelStyle(2) instead of  
levelStyles[2] but since that's not in 2.3 I still need to catch an exception.
