Document Classes ⇒ Chapters, book, mwrep

[arrowman]

Hi,
I would like ask about help mainly with: \chapter.

When i am using book class(maybe wrong word), here is example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,openany,landscape]{book}

when i write \chapter{Begining}
I hav something like this:

Code: Select all

Chapter 1
Begining

but i need:

Code: Select all

1. Begining

How can i solve this?


I tried other class:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,openany,landscape]{mwrep}

Chapters are ok, but \evensidemargin work bad(do nothing)...

Could Anyone help me? Please...

I suggest using the titlesec package. See its documentation for more info.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,openany,landscape]{book}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}% title command to restyle
    [hang]% format as single hanging paragraph, like a section title 
    {\huge\bfseries}% font commands applied to both number and title
    {\thechapter.}% the number and dot
    {0.5em}% space between number and title
    {}% font commands applied to title
\begin{document}
\chapter{Beginning}
Some text.
\end{document}

I don't understand what you were trying to say about \evensidemargin.

Oh, thank You! You're great! It works very well.

The problem with \evensidemargin is the following:
When i use:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,openany,landscape]{mwrep}

Latex ignore \evensidemargin command. mwrep is a lot of better for me but by these margins i can't use this.
How can i define own \evensidemargin?

Thank You again.
A.

I wouldn't. I would set the margins with the geometry package instead. See its documentation.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,openany]{mwrep}
\usepackage{geometry} 
\geometry{landscape,a4paper,right=2cm,top=3cm,bottom=2cm,left=3cm}
