Text Formatting ⇒ temporarily get normal subsection after redefining?

[quickq]

Hi,
I redefined the style of subsection with titlesec package and giving \titleformat and \titlespacing commands. Is there a way I can use original style of subsection in a few particular instances? I tried to read the titlesec documentation but did not see how to do this... thank you.

Hi,

you could define two commands; one for the modifications to the subsections format and another for the settings of a standard subsection. The following example illustrates this approach:

Code: Select all

  \titleformat{\subsection}[runin]

  \titlespacing*{\subsection}
    {0pt}{10pt}{0.5em}
}
% This command activates the standard format for subsections
\newcommand\StdSubsection{%
  \titleformat{\subsection}
    {\normalfont\large\bfseries}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}
  \titlespacing*{\subsection}
    {0pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}
}

Hi,

Thank you. This might be obvious but - how did you know what the standard options were?

You can find them in the file article.cls or in the documentation of the titlesec package (Section "Standard Classes").
