General ⇒ paragraph and subparagraph alignment and indentation

[d82k]

Hi!

I'm writing a document that has a lot of section subsections... paragraph and subparagraph...

here is what I have:

Code: Select all

2.3 Title section
my text my text my text my text 

2.3.1 Title subsection
my text my text my text my text 

2.3.1.1 Title subsubsection
my text my text my text my text 

2.3.1.1.1 Title paragraph\\
     my text my text my text my text 

       2.3.1.1.1.1 Title subparagraph\\
     my text my text my text my text 

How do I "no indent" the my text 2.3.1.1.1 paragraph? (i have tried with \noindent but not working).

how do I align the subparagraph title (2.3.1.1.1.1) with the others, and remove the my text indent?


Thankyou

Hi dk,

which documentclass do you use? Can you provida a minimal working example?
You could use renewcommand to change the definition of \subparagraph that comes with your documentclass.

Thankyou for your reply...

I post you the smallest example I could do... here you can see my problem better:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside,openright]{report}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[scriptsize]{caption2}

\setlength{\paperwidth}{16cm}
\setlength{\paperheight}{24cm}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin} {2. cm}
\setlength{\evensidemargin} {2. cm}
\addtolength{\oddsidemargin} {-0.4 cm}
\addtolength{\evensidemargin} {-0.4 cm}
\linespread{1.3}

\renewcommand{\captionfont}{\normalfont \sffamily \itshape \small}

\pagestyle{empty}

\sloppy
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{6}

\begin{document}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyfoot{}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\chaptername\ \thechapter.\ #1}{}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection.\ #1}}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\bfseries\thepage}

\fancyhead[RE]{\bfseries\leftmark}
\fancyhead[LO]{\bfseries\rightmark}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.3pt}

\chapter{Title}
\thispagestyle{empty}

\section{Section}
this is may text this is may text this is may text this is may text

this is may text this is may text this is may text this is may text

\subsection{Sub Section}
this is may text this is may text this is may text this is may text

this is may text this is may text this is may text this is may text

\subsubsection{Sub Sub Section}
this is may text this is may text this is may text this is may text

this is may text this is may text this is may text this is may text

\paragraph{Paragraph\\}
NEED TO REMOVE THIS INDENT this is may text this is may text this is may text this is may text

this is may text this is may text this is may text this is may text

\subparagraph{Sub Paragraph (NO INDENT)\\}
NEED TO ALIGN THIS this is may text this is may text this is may text this is may text

this is may text this is may text this is may text this is may text

\end{document}

Hi,

you should remove those linebreaks inside the (sub)paragraph titles.
Try this redefinition in your preamble:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{\z@}%
                                     {-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
                                     {0.0001pt \@plus .2ex}%
                                     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\renewcommand\subparagraph{\@startsection{subparagraph}{5}{\z@}%
                                     {-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
                                     {0.0001pt \@plus .2ex}%
                                     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\makeatother

You may change the lengths inside these redefinitions.
Btw. the package caption2 is old - you should use caption instead.

Just to complement the answer of Stefan_K, to change the page layout you can use the geometry package, and you can use the setspace package to modify the inter-line spacing.
