chapter title in uppercase?

Post by blinklily »

I have a style file that prints the title of each chapter like this:
Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION

but I need the "Chapter" part in all caps too and cannot figure it out, keeps giving errors anytime I add \uppercase...though I am fairly new to this

here is the style file that concerns the chapter headings:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
% \@makechapterhead {TEXT} : Makes the heading for the \chapter command.
%
\def\@makechapterhead#1{% % Heading for \chapter command
\vspace*{\z@}% % Space at top of text page.
{\parindent \z@ \raggedright
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne % IF secnumdepth > -1 THEN
% Print '\chaptername' and number.
\normalsize\bf\centering \@chapapp{} \thechapter
\par
\vskip 20\p@ \fi % Space between number and title.
\normalsize \bf % Title.
\uppercase\expandafter{#1}\par
\nobreak % TeX penalty to prevent page break.
\vskip 40\p@ % Space between title and text.
}}
% \@makechapterhead {TEXT} : Makes the heading for the \chapterfoot command.
%
\newcommand{\@makechapterfoothead}[2]{% % Heading for \chapterfoot command
\vspace*{\z@}% % Space at top of text page.
{\parindent \z@ \raggedright
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne % IF secnumdepth > -1 THEN
% Print '\chaptername' and number.
\normalsize\bf\centering \@chapapp{} \thechapter
\par
\vskip 20\p@ \fi % Space between number and title.
\normalsize \bf % Title.
\uppercase\expandafter{#1}\footnote{\textmd{#2}} \par
\nobreak % TeX penalty to prevent page break.
\vskip 40\p@ % Space between title and text.
}}
% \@makeschapterhead {TEXT} : Makes the heading for the \chapter* command.
%
\def\@makeschapterhead#1{% % Heading for \chapter* command
\vspace*{\z@}% % Space at top of page.
{\parindent \z@ \raggedright
\normalsize \bf \centering % Title.
\uppercase\expandafter{#1}\par
\nobreak % TeX penalty to prevent page break.

Please help, this is for my thesis and they will reject it if I can't get the formatting just right.

chapter title in uppercase?

Post by localghost »

The word "Chapter" is typeset by a macro which can be redefined.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\chaptername}{CHAPTER}

If that doesn't work, let us know if you are using babel and with which language option.
