LaTeX forum ⇒ Text Formatting ⇒ Alignment

[vinaykumarn]

Sir,

The following are doubts w.r.t .cls file:

1. How to align the "contents" text to right side of the page
2. How to give horizontal lines after "chapter 1" and before "chapter name" in first chapter (or corresponding chapter in general).
3. Similarly how to align the "chapter 1" and "chapter name" to right side of the page beside to page number.

Please solve and oblige

Please post a minimal working example.

Welcome to the forum!

We don't know which class file you use. Please tell us the name of the class, and it would be meaningful to post a code example of your document to change. Link: minimal working example.

What is the XXXXX that is written inside these brackets?

\documentclass{XXXXX}

Post the smallest amount of code you can that shows the problem you are trying to correct. That is needed to give you specific advice.

Hello sir,
Here is the minimal code:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex})

\documentclass[
12pt, % The default document font size, options: 10pt, 11pt, 12pt
oneside, % Two side (alternating margins) for binding by default, uncomment to switch to one side
english, % ngerman for German
onehalfspacing, % Single line spacing, alternatives: onehalfspacing or doublespacing
%draft, % Uncomment to enable draft mode (no pictures, no links, overfull hboxes indicated)
nolistspacing, % If the document is onehalfspacing or doublespacing, uncomment this to set spacing in lists to single
%liststotoc, % Uncomment to add the list of figures/tables/etc to the table of contents
%toctotoc, % Uncomment to add the main table of contents to the table of contents
parskip, % Uncomment to add space between paragraphs

Here is an example using the titlesec package:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex})

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}
  {20pt}{\Huge}

Adjust as you desire. The command \raggedleft does the right alignment.

Dear Stefan Kottwitz

You could add a line break with a title rule, \\[0.5ex]\titlerule, that is,

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex})

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}{%
   \chaptertitlename\ \thechapter\\[0.5ex]\titlerule}
  {20pt}{\Huge}

Regarding the page header style, you may play with this and change it:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex})

\providepairofpagestyles{thesisSimple}{%
\clearpairofpagestyles%
\automark[chapter]{chapter}
\ihead{\headmark}% Inner header
\ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}% Outer header
}
\ifoot{}% Inner footer
\ofoot{}% Outer footer
\pagestyle{thesisSimple}
\providepairofpagestyles[thesisSimple]{thesis}{%
\automark*[section]{}%
}
\providepairofpagestyles[thesisSimple]{review}{%
	\ofoot[\ttitle/\authorname]{\ttitle/\authorname}
	\ifoot[\today]{\today}
}
