Re: Page Break after Part Heading

Remove Page Break after Part Heading (/Appendices heading)

It seems you would be served well by moving everything down one level: the two main sections as "chapters" and the headings below them as "sections." You would then have subsections, subsubsections, paragraphs, etc. below that.

Thanks kaiserkarl.

This was how I started until I learnt there was a ...

Remove Page Break after Part Heading (/Appendices heading)

Hello,

I would like to split my document into \parts, \chapters and \sections as it will be a long document, but there are 2 main fields of expertise (\part) and then 2 broad areas (\chapter) within each of these, inside which I will be writing several multi-level sections. With this document I am ...

RefWorks and BibTeX

Sorry for taking so long to get back. After finalising my document I manually changed all my @misc{} references to the most appropriate. My webpages had the following format:

@techreport{RefWorks:#,
author="{....}",
year="{....}",
title="{....}",
note="{[Online] Available from: \url{http://www ...

RefWorks and BibTeX

Hi I use RW too and just used it with Bibtex for my dissertation (Harvard-style bibliography).

I will post again later with my solution to the @misc for webpages as I don't have the final version where I sorted these problems with me here, but here are some other things I learnt:

titlesec | Reformatted Chapter, now Issues with Section

Okay, the only solution I have found is to include 10 long lines of code re-stating all the 'standard' LaTeX heading definitions of the headings that I did not wish to customise. These can be found on page 27 of the Titlesec manual.

titlesec | Reformatted Chapter, now Issues with Section

Hello,

I found help on this forum for reformatting \chapter{} so that the heading is displayed inline as e.g. 1 Introduction:

\titleformat{\chapter}[hang]{\bfseries\huge}{\thechapter}{2pc}{}{}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{-12pt}{18pt}{}

and added the second line after reading the titlesec ...

glossaries | Space beneath Title in Acronym List too large

Hi,

I have been using LaTeX the last few months to write my thesis and have solved most issues, however, there is one thing still bugging me - the spacing between the title of my glossaries 'Acronym List' and the start of the list. The spacing here is much larger than the equivalent spacing in my ...
