another question, changing the style of section header

Post by c.mafla »

Hi

I want to change the style (format) of my section headers...I want it to be 'bold' by default, i supposed that i need to use a '\renewcommand{}' but i dont know how to do it.

Please, help me

Hi,

section headers are bold by default with standard classes. What exactly do you mean, or do you use a non-standard class?

What shall I say if you don't mention the name of the class or give a link to it's source. This way no correction is possible, I can only give the advice to use \bfseries or \texbf with the title but that's not guaranteed to work, who knows what this class is doing.

I'm sorry...im kinda new at this

The class name is 'mythesis', and i send it as a attachment, i dont know what extra info could be helpful; i'm already using '\textbf{}' and it works, but i would like to do it to the entire document,

thanks again

Hi,

first let me say that I do not like this kind of modifications to a document class that was designed to give a specific formatting. Anyway, I attach the resulting modified class file; I called it mymothesis.cls
Save it in the same folder that contains your .tex file and replace

Code: Select all

\documentclass{mythesis}
by

Code: Select all

\documentclass{mymothesis}
Edit: I initially changed the format of the chapters too and then I had to undo those changes since the OP just wanted to modify the sections.
