General ⇒ contents and chapter headings at the center

[karisalk]

Hi out there. How do you achieve putting the chapter heading and table of contents heading the center with different font size.
Thanks.

Hi,

this could be done using the titlesec package, for instance

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\centering\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test}
\end{document}

Thank you very much! It worked very well and I am learning more by extending it to other contexts.
Cheers.
