Text Formatting ⇒ Help with coloring headings/paragraphs

[homer]

Hi! Hope I am in the right fora.

I'm using this code found at: http://www.maths.adelaide.edu.au/anthon ... loats.html

Code: Select all

\let\LaTeX@startsection\@startsection 
\renewcommand{\@startsection}[6]{\LaTeX@startsection%
{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{\color{name_of_the_color}\raggedright #6}} 

It works really good for setting colors to my headings. The thing is I don't want the color to be set at paragraphs. Can somebody please help me sort things out and explain how I can modify this little code to suite my commands?

Forget that code and use the titlesec package for standard classes. Other classes like KOMA Script and memoir have built-in features.

Thanks for your answer. I'm trying to learn these new features. Is there a way to use a sty-file to configure header and footers?

I want this in my sty file:

Code: Select all

%% Format Header
\newpagestyle{myps}[\small\sffamily\slshape]{
  \headrule
  \sethead{test}{\sectiontitle}{\usepage}} 

And want to use it in my tex file like this:

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{settings/myps}

Is it possible? I bet it is. But i can't figure it out.

This is very confusing. At first let's clarify if we are talking about headers or headings. Describe exactly what you want to do and present recent efforts in form of a minimal working example (MWE).

Yes I couldn't agree more. When I read it today it IS very confusing . I will close this issue cause the main problem is solved. And I'll start a new thread with my new issue and with a MWE.
