The name chapter and the chapter's title in just one line

Post by jcgonzales »

Good day to all of you! I have a big problema with the following: I want to put the name:

"Chapter 1

Brief Literature Review"

in this way (just in one line only)

"Chapter 1: Brief Literature Review"

The point is that I don't want to separate the two names, chapter and the title. What I really want is all the name in just one line.

I tried to use the package facydhr but don't find the way to get a useful code.

I would really be glad to read some help

Thanks to all in advance!

Hi,

nice to see you again here after some years! :-)

You can simply change the class from a >10 years old base class to a modern class with better defaults, such as this kind of title. Change book to scrbook or report to scrreprt at the beginning of your document. There is a very good documentation for these classes, which are much better customizable: scrguien. Don't worry, they can work like standard classes, but offer more (that's why that good documentation as a reference).
