Page Layout ⇒ Suppress newline after number in \chapter

[stefan_fuglsang]

I have removed the "Chapter" text in the \chapter command, but how can I suppress the newline after the chapter number? The example below prints

1
<vertical space>
Introduction
<vertical space>
Blabla bla bla

I would like this:

1 Introduction
<vertical space>
Blabla bla bla

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
%remove "Chapter" text in headlines:
\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand\chaptername{}}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}
Blabla bla bla
\end{document}

Thanks,
Stefan

I recommend using the titlesec. You'll want to read its documentation, especially regarding getting finer-grained control over title spacing.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}% reformat chapter headings
    [hang]% like section, with number on same line
    {\Huge\bfseries}% formatting applied to whole
    {\thechapter}% Chapter number
    {0.5em}% space between # and title
    {}% formatting applied just to title

\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}
Blabla bla bla
\end{document}

There is no need to redefine \chaptername; that could have unintended consequences elsewhere.

Thank you,
I will try that.
