Hi,

Where can i find a standard command definitions in LaTeX?

you can find them in the "The LaTeX2e Sources" aka source2e. Just click this link, or type

Code: Select all

texdoc source2e

at the command prompt on your computer, it should be on your system.

Particularly i need a standard definition of \section for i can look at it, and renew, how i want.

\section is defined in the classes, so have a look at article.cls or the class you use. Different classes may implement it in different ways. Usually they call \@startsection, which is described in source2e.

Search the class file in your local TeX tree, or using kpsewhich, such as by

Code: Select all

kpsewhich article.cls

at the command prompt.
