Text Formatting ⇒ titlesec | Reformatted Chapter, now Issues with Section

[nicksy]

Hello,

I found help on this forum for reformatting \chapter{} so that the heading is displayed inline as e.g. 1 Introduction:

Code: Select all

\titleformat{\chapter}[hang]{\bfseries\huge}{\thechapter}{2pc}{}{}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{-12pt}{18pt}{}

and added the second line after reading the titlesec documentation to personalize my layout, and it looks fab .


However, since doing this my \section, \subsection, etc. have stopped working. Now they just display as Normal text on their own lines separated by vertical spacing from surrounding paragraphs. No longer do they have section numbering, and no longer are they identifiable by increased font size or boldface, but they do still appear as (sub)sections (with numbering) in my Contents List and their hyperlinks still work. I even tried including "\titlelabel{\thetitle\quad}" to no avail.

I am plagued with errors about the section commands that I do not understand - missing numbers, illegal units (there number is of course proportional to the number of sections).



Also, if anyone can resolve the "Package etoolbox Warning: Patching '\begin' failed!
'AtBeginEnvironment' will not work" warning at the beginning that also plagued my last document please??


My (shortened) code so far, all packages included in case of clashes:

Thank you

Okay, the only solution I have found is to include 10 long lines of code re-stating all the 'standard' LaTeX heading definitions of the headings that I did not wish to customise. These can be found on page 27 of the Titlesec manual.

The described problem is incomprehensible due to a missing minimal example. The below code compiles flawlessly and doesn't show an irregularities.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,english]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[raggedright]{titlesec}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\titleformat{\chapter}[hang]{\bfseries\huge\filright}{\thechapter}{2pc}{}{}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{-12pt}{18pt}{}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument
\end{document}
