General ⇒ Section title not fitting in one line

[Shukie]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with my section title. It breaks off in the middle and starts a new line, here's a picture to show what I mean:



It seems to me there's plenty of room for the title to just be on one single line. How can I make that happen?

It seems to me, looking at the attachment, that you are using the twocolumn class option in your document. If this is so, then your section title won't fit in a single line, as the following example shows (I assumed your language is German, sorry if it is not):

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\section{Rekenen met complexe getallen}
  \Blindtext

\end{document}

If you want the title to appear in a single line, maybe you could try using the multicol package, as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{multicol}

\begin{document}

\section{Rekenen met complexe getallen}
  \begin{multicols}{2}
  \Blindtext
  \end{multicols}

\end{document}

The blindtext package was loaded only to automatically generate some text.

That's the thing, I'm not using columns. I'll show you a larger image:



The placement of the other text below the 'Product' stuff is just fine, but above that it seems to act as a column.

It's Dutch, by the way

Please post some relevant parts of your code (in the spirit of a minimal working example) showing this undesired behaviour.

I supossed so. "met" and "mit". Anyway, I'm sorry.

I was preparing the code for which you asked when I found my problem. It was a picture on the bottom right of the previous page that must have somehow carried over to the next page. When I removed it, the section title became just one single line again.

Thanks for your help

The snapshot lets me wonder if you are using the wrapfig package or something similar.
