Text Formatting ⇒ centering a chapter title

[thedoctor818]

Now when I try the code, I get the error that I am missing \begin{document}???

[Stefan Kottwitz]

What is the current code you are using that's raising the error?

Now, I can get this code #1 below to work:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper,twoside,openany]{book}
\usepackage[pagestyles]{titlesec}
\usepackage[left=0.50in,right=0.45in,top=0.50in,bottom=0.50in]{geometry}


\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\centering}{}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}
  {0pt}{50pt}{40pt}

\newpagestyle{mystyle}{\sethead{}{}{}\setfoot{}{\thepage}{}}
\pagestyle{mystyle}

\begin{document}
%\maketitle
\tableofcontents

\chapter{WEEKDAY EVENING PRAYERS.}

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

more text...

etc

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\centering}{\centering\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}
  {0pt}{50pt}{40pt}
 
\titleformat{\section}[display]
  {\normalfont\Large\bfseries\centering}{}{20pt}{\Large}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}
  {0pt}{50pt}{40pt} 

\appendix
\chapter{ON THE SIGN OF THE PRECIOUS AND LIFE-GIVING CROSS.}

\section{text}
\subsection*{text}

more text...

etc

\end{document}

However, when I try to add back my packages as in Code #2, below; I get the error: File ended while scanning use of \@argdef???

Here is that code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper,twoside,openany]{book}
\usepackage[pagestyles]{titlesec}
\usepackage[left=0.50in,right=0.45in,top=0.50in,bottom=0.50in]{geometry}
\usepackage{liturg}
\usepackage{framed}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\centering}{}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}
  {0pt}{50pt}{40pt}

\newpagestyle{mystyle}{\sethead{}{}{}\setfoot{}{\thepage}{}}
\pagestyle{mystyle}

\begin{document}

\appendix

\section{text}
\subsection*{text}

etc

\end{document}

Any help would be appreaciated.

The second code works for me without problems. Could you post your .log file for that code as attachment here?
