Bookmark level difference when using hyperref


When creating my output with miktex in texniccenter I get the following warning

Difference (2) between bookmark levels is greater than one, level fixed on input line 3

Can someone explain this warning to me and perhaps give me a hint for a solution of the problem?


Solution

  • That message is emitted by the hyperref package. Usually it means that you've skipped a level of headings. Something like:

    \chapter{Chapter heading}
    % skipping the \section -- bad move
    \subsection{Subsection heading}
    

    Check your document to make sure that you have all your headings in order and haven't skipped any in the hierarchy.

    (That being said, it is only a warning, so it can be ignored if you like.)
