Text Formatting ⇒ changing section title format

[martman]

Anyone mind giving me a hand using the titlesec package to change the section title format?

Id like to have it so under (the next line) the title is a bunch of = signs. I know it sounds a bit weird but it will come in handy oddly enough.

So something like:

Section Title
========

Thanks

Hi martman,

you could use ulem or the soul package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\titleformat{\section}
{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{\uuline}

double underline looks close, but I'd really like equal signs if possible. Besides from pdf output I also need text, and my convert cant handle uuline but should be able to use a equal sign easily.

Thanks

With ulem it's also possible to use equal signs, like:

Code: Select all

\newcommand\equalsigns{\bgroup\markoverwith{\raisebox{-1.1ex}{=}}\ULon}
\titleformat{\section}
{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{\equalsigns}

Hate to keep pushing my luck but is there a easy way to change that last one so there are 80 equal signs?

Thanks alot!

If you need a fixed number of equal signs you don't need ulem:

Code: Select all

\titleformat{\section}
{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}[==== ... ====]
