Text Formatting ⇒ Size of Chapter Headings

[patricia__88]

I used the "report" class. In this class size of chapter headings is very big, how can I change it? I can't change this Class, because the all text it's broken.

For the standard classes like »report« take a look at the titlesec package. Other classes like those from the KOMA-Script bundle or the memoir class have built-in features.

Hi Patricia,

welcome to the board!

To give you an easy start with titlesec, here are some lines which you could copy to your preamble, giving a one degree smaller size:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\LARGE}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{50pt}{40pt}

I changed \huge and \Huge into \Large and \LARGE, respectively. You can also change it to \large etc. and adjust spacing as desired. Follow Thorsten's link to find the documentation, where the commands are explained. The commands for "cloning" and adjusting the standard class headings are in the appendix.
