book | Change Appearance of Chapter Title

Post by vishivish »

Hi all,

I am using the book class to format my thesis. Right now, the chapter title appears on its own page. I would like to make two changes:
  1. Make the body of the chapter appear right after the chapter title
  2. Decrease the font size of the chapter title
Thanks everyone in advance,
Vishi

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Both points are a job for the titlesec package. A Forum Search will yield feasible solutions. Since the described behaviour is not the default one, it would be better to present a minimal example of your recent efforts.


Best regards and welcome to the board
