Define yourself new commands +<blockquote> +<pre> +\newcommand{\ssection}[1]{% + \section[#1]{\centering\sc #1}} +\newcommand{\ssubsection}[1]{% + \subsection[#1]{\raggedright\it #1}} +</pre> +</blockquote> +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't perfect: section numbers +remain in bold, and starred forms need a separate redefinition. +<p>The package <i>sectsty</i> provides an easy-to-use set of tools to +do this job, while the package <i>titlesec</i> has a structured +approach based on redefinition of the sectioning and chapter commands +themselves. <i>Titlesec</i>'s approach allows it to offer far more +radical adjustment: its options provide (in effect) a toolbox for +designing your own sectioning commands' output. +<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 "like section headings" +(i.e., without the "Chapter" 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. +<p>The documentation of <i>fncychap</i> is distributed as a separate +PostScript file. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>anonchap.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/anonchap.sty">macros/latex/contrib/misc/anonchap.sty</a> +<dt><tt><i>fncychap.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fncychap.zip">macros/latex/contrib/fncychap</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fncychap.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fncychap/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>KOMA script bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.zip">macros/latex/contrib/koma-script</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>memoir.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.zip">macros/latex/contrib/memoir</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>sectsty.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sectsty.zip">macros/latex/contrib/sectsty</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sectsty.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sectsty/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>titlesec.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec.zip">macros/latex/contrib/titlesec</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>tocbibind.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tocbibind.zip">macros/latex/contrib/tocbibind</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tocbibind.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tocbibind/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=secthead">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=secthead</a> +</body> |
