+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label secthead</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>The style of section headings</h3>
+<p/>Suppose that the editor of your favourite journal has specified that section
+headings must be centred, in small capitals, and subsection headings ragged
+right in italic, but that you don&rsquo;t want to get involved in the sort of
+programming described in section 2.2 of <em>The LaTeX Companion</em>
+
+ (see <a href="FAQ-books.html">TeX-related books</a>; the
+ <a href="FAQ-atsigns.html">programming</a> itself is discussed elsewhere in this
+ FAQ).
+The following hack will
+probably satisfy your editor. Define yourself new commands
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\newcommand{\ssection}[1]{%
+ \section[#1]{\centering\normalfont\scshape #1}}
+\newcommand{\ssubsection}[1]{%
+ \subsection[#1]{\raggedright\normalfont\itshape #1}}
+</pre>
+
+</blockquote><p>
+and then use <code>\</code><code>ssection</code> and <code>\</code><code>ssubsection</code> in place of
+<code>\</code><code>section</code> and <code>\</code><code>subsection</code>. This isn&rsquo;t perfect: section numbers
+remain in bold, and starred forms need a separate redefinition.
+<p/>The <i>titlesec</i> package offers a structured approach to the
+problem, based on redefinition of the sectioning and chapter commands
+themselves. This approach allows it to offer radical adjustment: its
+options provide (in effect) a toolbox for designing your own
+sectioning commands&rsquo; output.
+<p/>The <i>sectsty</i> package provides a more simply structured set of
+tools; while it is less powerful than is <i>titlesec</i>, it is
+perhaps preferable for minor adjustments, since you can use it after
+having read a smaller proportion of the manual.
+<p/>The <i>fncychap</i> package provides a nice collection of customised
+chapter heading designs. The <i>anonchap</i> package provides a
+simple means of typesetting chapter headings &ldquo;like section headings&rdquo;
+(i.e., without the &ldquo;Chapter&rdquo; part of the heading); the
+<i>tocbibind</i> package provides the same commands, in pursuit of
+another end. Unfortunately, <i>fncychap</i> is not attuned to the
+existence of front- and backmatter in <i>book</i> class documents.
+<p/>The <i>memoir</i> class includes facilities that match
+<i>sectsty</i> and <i>titlesec</i>, as well as a bundle of
+chapter heading styles (including an <i>anonchap</i>-equivalent).
+The <i>KOMA-script</i> classes also have sets of tools that provide
+equivalent functionality, notably formatting specifications <code>\</code><code>partformat</code>,
+<code>\</code><code>chapterformat</code>, <code>\</code><code>sectionformat</code>, ..., as well as several
+useful overall formatting specifications defined in class options.
+<p/>Finally, the indefatigable Vincent Zoonekynd supplies examples of how
+to program alternative
+<a href="http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/LaTeX_samples_chapter/0.html">chapter heading styles</a>
+and
+<a href="http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/LaTeX_samples_section/0.html">section heading styles</a>.
+The web pages are not useful to users unless they are willing to do
+their own LaTeX programming.
