Page Layout ⇒ [Help with legacy code] \spacefactor and vertical mode

[robertoneto123]

Hello,

I'm trying to understand a piece of a legacy code of a style file that I should use on my document. But I'm getting the error You can't use `\spacefactor' in vertical mode \section. Since it should be working, I believe that is some stupid thing that I'm missing.

Does anyone had this problem? I believe that is a very quickly fix, but I have no clue of how to solve it...

Thanks!

That's the same thing as in the previous post. There's an @ in the macro name.

Simply move the \makeatletter command upwards, so that it stands above def\@makechapterhead#1{% and the \makeatotherer command below that \renewcommand{\section}{\@startsection... redefinition.

\makeatletter must come before the first @ in the preamble, \makeatotherer after the last @, so in-between the undesirable meaning of @ would be changed.

That's the same thing as in the previous post. There's an @ in the macro name.

not quite, I think.
In his previous post, he had the redefinition in his preamble, here he's moved it into a style file, where `@' is interpreted as letter, anyway.
Of course, he's moved the \makeatletter/\makeatother there as well, so the following redefinitions with @ in the command name fail. I'd simply remove the \makeatletter and \makeatother from the style file...

Ah, yes, it was in a style file. I agree with Rainer, for earlier mentioned reasons those two commands should not be in a style file, only in a document file. Sorry for confusion.
