General ⇒ Centering chapter and bibliography titles, and more

[trnbvn]

Hello,

I'm using the standard report/book class, and I would like to know how to change the default settings for Chapter/Bibliography heading/titles.

More specifically, I want to place Chapter headings/titles in center and to change the fonts to smaller sizes, in capitals.

I would like to do the same with the Bibliography heading. I actually also wanted to change from "bibliography" to "references", but I found an answer in this forum, I just still don't know how to put it in the center and change the fonts.

I may have more questions once this issue is sorted out.

Thanks,

Have a look at the titlesec package.

Hi trnbvn,

titlesec is a good advice by mas. One comment might help: have a look at the end of the titlesec documentation, there are titlesec commands corresponding to the standard classes listed. You could copy those examples and insert \centering and font commands like \large, \scshape etc.

Thanks a lot!

As promised I have more questions. Let say my report has 2 chapters, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. In Chapter 1, I want to number the theorems like Theorem 1, Theorem 2, ... In chapter 2, I want my theorems to be numbered exactly the same, Theorem 1, Theorem 2, ...

I tried to remove [counter] from \newtheorem, so that it just like

\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}

but in Chapter 2, my theorems starts from Theorem 2, Theorem 3,...

Please help. Thanks.

Hi trnbvn,

try the chngcntr package:
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{theorem}{chapter}
