Text Formatting ⇒ Custom Section Error ("horizontal mode")

[Andreas Knafl]

Hey Guys!
I'm about to create my own section-Style an I've got a problem.
That's how I want my section look like:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a5paper,10pt,twoside,]{scrbook}
\usepackage[left=2cm,right=1cm,top=1cm,bottom=0.5cm,includeheadfoot]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}


\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\renewcommand{\thesection}{\setcounter{section}{1}\arabic{section}}

\titleformat{\section}
{\normalfont\rmfamily\mdseries}
{}{2pt}{}  [
  ]

\newcommand\Section[2]{
\begin{center}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{lXr}
\thesection & & #1 \\ \hline
 & & \fontsize{6}{0} \selectfont #2
\end{tabularx}
\end{center}
}

\begin{document}



\Section{Text1}{Text two}


Test
\Section{Text2}{test}
Test

\end{document}

When I don't use \section*{#1}, Latex wont continue the numbering of my section, and they also doesn't appeare in the toc

So when I use \section*{#1},....

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a5paper,10pt,twoside,]{scrbook}
\usepackage[left=2cm,right=1cm,top=1cm,bottom=0.5cm,includeheadfoot]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}


\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\renewcommand{\thesection}{\setcounter{section}{1}\arabic{section}}

\titleformat{\section}
{\normalfont\rmfamily\mdseries}
{}{2pt}{}  [
  ]

\newcommand\Section[2]{
\begin{center}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{lXr}
\thesection & & \section{#1} \\ \hline   %there I use \section*{}
 & & \fontsize{6}{0} \selectfont #2
\end{tabularx}
\end{center}
}

\begin{document}



\Section{Text1}{Text two}


Test
\Section{Text2}{test}
Test

\end{document}

..., there will be an error telling me I'm in the wrong mode (horizontal/vertical)

I'm working on this problem for 3 days

May somebody can solve my problem?

Thanks for helping!!

Are you just not using \chapter here, because it is irrelevant, or don't you know about the chapter command?

Hi Johannes_B!
My chapter command is already defined. In that case, everything went fine.

[Johannes_B]

Took me some time to find a suitable solution. I hope it is ok.

\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}

\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}

\titleformat{\section}{}{}{0pt}{}{}

Thank you very much for the Help!
Right now I'm not able to understand your code. May I will be allowed to ask some questions, when I promise to work the smart way ?

[Johannes_B]

Of course you are allowed to ask for clarification. That is my standard signature that appears under all my posts. ;-)

[Johannes_B]

An even better version with respect to the optional argument.
