Page Layout ⇒ Section Heading vertically centered on its own Page

[eelkefolmer]

I'm trying to vertically center headers on their own page using the following code.

Code: Select all

\titleformat{\section}[display]
{\Huge \bfseries}
{}
{0.4\textheight}
{\thesection.}

This does the trick. Just found it by randomly trying. I wish someone would write some better documentation for titlesec.

You just need to learn how to read manuals. Your code does not exactly do what you plan. The heading is neither properly centered nor on its own page.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\section}
{\clearpage\null\vfil\bfseries\Huge}
{\filright\thesection}
{1em}
{\filright\Huge}
[\vfil\newpage]

\begin{document}
  \section{Foo}
    The quick brown for jumps over the lazy dog.

  \section{Bar}
    The quick brown for jumps over the lazy dog.
\end{document}

And by the way, full examples are more helpful than some code snippets to comprehend a problem.
