LaTeX forum ⇒ General ⇒ Line break directly after paragraph title

[NiklasF]

Is it possible to get a line break after paragraph title? I've tried it manually with \\ but then I get the following response: "...no line to break here"

I would like something like a \subsubsubsection but without the numbering, is there a way?

By the way I'm using the article layout!

Thanks, Niklas.

You have to include some lines in the preamble: take a look at the followwing example:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass{article}
 
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\paragraph{%
    \@startsection{paragraph}{4}{0mm}%
       {-\baselineskip}%
       {.5\baselineskip}%
       {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\makeatother
 
\begin{document}
 
\paragraph{A paragraph}
some text text tetx
 
\end{document}

Hi,

gmedina's solution is working well! I had just one small thought while reading it: instead of a multiple of \baselineskip I would prefer a length with glue, because LaTeX can stretch and shrink that slightly (like with the other sectioning commands) to improve the page layout. One may see no difference, but in some cases one might. Similar to the source in article.cls I would write:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{\z@}%
   {-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
   {1.5ex \@plus .2ex}%
   {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\makeatother

glue is not the only advantage. Now it's not depending on \baselineskip, no problem with the case some macro would change the \baselineskip length. But as I said, gmedinas solution is working well and my code probably won't show a difference.

Excellent, thanks a bunch! Now I got a much nicer layout.

I would really be lost writing in Latex without an internet connection and your help, thanks!
