General ⇒ Vertical space between section header and text

[tufflax]

Hey!

I decided I wanted to switch from indentation to extra vertical space between paragraphs, so I did this:

Code: Select all

\addtolength{\parskip}{\baselineskip}
\setlength{\parindent}{0 em}

But I noticed that \parskip also adds extra space between the section (and subsection, etc.) headers and the text. Can I control this space separately?

Hi Tufflax,

the titlesec package provides features to control the spacing and style of sectioning commands. The appendix of its documentation shows how you can reproduce the behaviour of the standard classes. You could take those definitions and modify it according to your needs.

Thank you! I'll look into that.
