Text Formatting ⇒ '\centering' command does not center Section Heading

[isharp2]

Hi,
I wanted to make a class that would center my sections in all uppercase (among other things). My class contains:

Code: Select all

\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\Large\centering\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{\uppercase\centering}

However, this does not center the section title. It still appears left-justified. Any ideas?

Replace \centering with \filcenter. Also, replace \uppercase\centering with \MakeUppercase (you don't need to say \filcenter again, but if you did, put it before \MakeUppercase).

\uppercase is unlikely to do what you want; use \MakeUppercase instead.
