custom heading for chapters

Post by sgp »

hi all,

is there a way to create you own style of headings for chapters, like custom font size and font type and some vector image.

thanks in advance,

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Yes, there is. You could use the titlesec package and its command \titleformat and \titlespacing. The documentation provides some examples.

Here's a fancy example: Chapter headings with TikZ.

Further the fncychap package offers some predefined styles.
