Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ How to reduce the blank space after chapter title

[crashpole]

Hi all,

Thank you for all the support so far. I have asked two questions and they were answered immediately! I really appreciate it!

I have another question. Again due to the page limitation, I would like to reduce the space after the chapter titles (Capture2), the space before sections (Capture1), and also before subsections.

Thank you very much!

Package titlesec is commonly used to modify chapter and section titles, and also their spacing.

If it would just be aboout chapter titles, \RenewDocumentCommand{\chapterbelowskip}{}{\vspace*{0pt}} would have been enough.

The solution does not work :/

I get the following message after putting this command \RenewDocumentCommand{\chapterbelowskip}{}{\vspace*{0pt}} right before begin(document) command in main tex. it does not work when i put in the class file either

Code: Select all

That means you are using a very old version of the template. Which one are you using?

As said before, package titleseccan modifiy the spacing around your structural level outputs.

Ah I see now. You are right! I'm using the 1.4v. In the newest version \chapterbelowskip variable is defined. Is there work around in the 1.4 version?

Btw thank you for the suggestions before. I got the after \section spacing fixed with the titlesec package. I just need to have the \chapter spacing. Let's see if I can fix it with the titlesec package.

Yes, titlesec.

By the way, version 1.4 was uf such bad quality, that many people have been troubles with it. By now, the template got several updates, last one not even a month ago. You should check, if the new version is better. Be sure, to work in a different directory, so your stuff that you have right now won't be corrupted.
