Document Classes ⇒ memoir | Onehalf spaced Heading in Margin

[rdonohoe]

Hi,

I have the memoir class set up for my thesis and have used the example of whole \paragraph headings into the margin given on page 109 of the class manual.

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\marginbox}[1]{%
\parbox[t][0pt]{6em}{\itshape\raggedleft\mbox{} #1}}
\newcommand{\marginhead}[1]{%
{\llap{\marginbox{#1}\kern0.5em}}}
\setparaindent{0em}
\setafterparaskip{0em}
\setparaheadstyle{\marginhead}
\setparahook{\setsecnumformat{\csname the##1\endcsname\ }}
\paragraph{Hang the whole heading in the margin}

However, in my rendered PDF the heading is onehalfspaced, because the substantive text is too, and it doesn't seem to be in a smaller font size or in \itshape.

Any advice would be great.
