Page Layout ⇒ Chapter number/title position with quotchap

[tweeg]

Im using quotchap with the big chapter numbering and i like it. Its just that i think ti could be a bit further up so i can fit a bit more text onto a page.

Does anyone know how i would do this?

The vertical space before the chapter number is created with a command called \chapterheadstartvskip. The default definition of this is \vspace*{2.3\baselineskip}, i.e., vertical space equal to 2.3 times the distance from one line to another in normal text. You can reduce the space by changing this definition to something else, or even make it negative:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{quotchap}
\renewcommand{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace*{-1\baselineskip}} 
\begin{document}
\chapter{A Chapter Heading}
Some text
\end{document}
