 Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2009 9:32 pm Post subject: latex question about redefining subsection command |
 |
|
I want my subsection command to do the following.
1) section font be bold
2) period and space after the section name
3) not force the following text (i.e. the actual beginning of the section) to a newline
4) have some vertical space before the section name (say 0.2cm)
the code
| Code: |
\renewcommand{\subsection}{\@startsection{subsection}{2}{0cm}{\parskip}{0.5\parskip}{\bf }}
|
solves 1) and 3), but not 2) and 4). any ideas? |

At the end of this page there's an explanation of \@startsection indicating that the 4th argument is the "before skip". Modifying that (which is set to \parskip in your example) should help with 4).
For 2), is there a reason you can't make your own subsection command like this and use it instead of \subsection?
| Code: | | \newcommand{\mysubsection}[1]{\subsection{#1.}} |

Actually, I wanted the period to come AFTER the section title, not section number. So, I guess I am asking how to make marks after the section tiitle.
your tip for 4) worked. thanks. |

I'm not sure what you're doing wrong but it places a period after the title when I try it.
This simple example has a period at the end of the line using \mysubsection. If you uncomment the two lines it will place a period after the subsection numbers as well
| Code: | \documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\mysubsection}[1]{\subsection{#1.}}
%\let\oldthesubsection\thesubsection
%\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\oldthesubsection.}
\begin{document}
\section{This is a section}
\subsection{This is a subsection}
\mysubsection{This is a mysubsection}
\end{document} |

You can probably also look at the amsart style file and see how the subsection is defined there. I think you get the period and the space after the subsection title.

Use titlesec package. It allows to redefine standart titles, including subsection and has a good docs  .
