Page Layout ⇒ Customize section header

[temusin]

Hi,

I am new to latex and writing my MS thesis in it. I have searched it a lot but my inexperience is making it really difficult to understand it.

I would like to customize the section header. Basically I want each section to start in a new page, centered and look something like this:

SECTION I


INTRODUCTION

something like the above. Where I - is the section number in Roman. Any help?

Thanks in advance!

Hi tem,

welcome to the board!
This can be done using the titlesec package. Have a look at the documentation, especially at the commands \titleformat and at the examples at the end.

For a MS thesis you better rely on a chapter based class. Chapters are always started on a new page and you will need this structuring hierarchy for a document of this size.

For solutions regarding the customization of headings you should try the forum search (simple version in the upper right corner, advanced version in the lower left corner).


Best regards and welcome to the board
