General ⇒ chapter heading position

[chao]

more questions
how to control the vertical spacing between

chapter1
and
Name of the Chapter?

The default spacing seems to big. I tried \singlespacing but with no effect

Another question
I've set
\setlength{\parindent}{0.30in} % First line indentation
However, only the 2nd and following paragraphs show a planned indent

Sorry to bother you guys with such basic questions.

Hi Chao,

change the value 20pt in the \titleformat command that we discussed, for example:

Code: Select all

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\centering\large\bfseries}
{\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename}\ \thechapter}{10pt}{\large\MakeUppercase}

Usually there's no indentation after \chapter or \section. You can change that by the indentafter-option:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[indentafter]{titlesec}

The titlesec package has already been mentioned several times. You just need to read a little bit in its manual.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\bfseries\huge}
{\filleft\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}
{4ex}
{\filcenter\Huge}

\begin{document}
  \chapter{Foo}
\end{document}

And next time please open a new topic instead of answering to one that is several years old.
