Page Layout ⇒ Alignment of \chapter, \chapter*, 'Reference' title etc

[dmca2]

Hi all, I'm new here and new to latex so apologies if this is obvious.

I'm trying to line up all the titles that start their own page, such as \chapter, 'Table of Contents', the Reference section etc. By default the Chapter titles are quite low, but I can raise them eaasily with:

Code: Select all

1
2
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[block]{\bfseries\LARGE\sffamily}{\vskip-4em \chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{2em}{}[]
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The vskip only seems to affect \chapter (and not \chapter* and other titles). I can also lower all the titles by using:

Code: Select all

1
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0em}{6em}{2em}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

which would lower everything by 6em. I guess in theory it should be possible to play about with these numbers to get all the titles lined up but after several hours I haven't managed.I realise I should probably be able to change the 'Table of Contents' title with the titletoc package but that won't help with the 'References' title and unnumbered chapters.

Surely there must be a better way of doing this?

If it makes a difference I'm using fancyheaders and koma-scripts with scrreprt and few other packages. The only one that I think might be an issue is chemstyle but it shouldn't be affecting things.
