What are the font sizes for
\chapter\section\subsection\subsubsectionwhen using the report,11pt document class? Also, what is the padding before and after each header level. I want to write a css file that to some extent emulates LaTeX look and feel.
Another option, not requiring additional packages would be to use the TeX primitive \parshape:
\newcommand\section{%
\renewcommand{\@seccntformat}[1]{%
\csname thesection\endcsname\hspace{0.5em}}%
\@startsection {section}{1}{10mm}%
{3.5ex \@plus 1ex \@minus .2ex}%
{2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%
{\normalfont\bfseries\raggedright\parshape 1 0cm \textwidth}}
An example:
\documentclass{book}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\section{%
\renewcommand{\@seccntformat}[1]{%
\csname thesection\endcsname\hspace{0.5em}}%
\@startsection {section}{1}{10mm}%
{3.5ex \@plus 1ex \@minus .2ex}%
{2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%
{\normalfont\bfseries\raggedright\parshape 1 0cm \textwidth}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\chapter{Test Chapter}
\section{Very long section name Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisci veliturea
adipiscing elit. Ut convallis pharetra augue at aliquet.}
Some text Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisci veliturea
adipiscing elit. Ut convallis pharetra augue at aliquet.
\end{document}
try this code
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\newcommand{\chapfnt}{\fontsize{16}{19}}
\newcommand{\secfnt}{\fontsize{14}{17}}
\newcommand{\ssecfnt}{\fontsize{12}{14}}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\normalfont\chapfnt\bfseries}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\chapfnt}
\titleformat{\section}
{\normalfont\secfnt\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}
\titleformat{\subsection}
{\normalfont\ssecfnt\bfseries}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\chapter} {0pt}{50pt}{40pt}
\titlespacing*{\section} {0pt}{3.5ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{2.3ex plus .2ex}
\titlespacing*{\subsection} {0pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}
\section{Test}
\subsection{More}
\end{document}
you can also do it without titlesec like this
\documentclass{report}
\newcommand{\chapfnt}{\fontsize{16}{19}}
\newcommand{\secfnt}{\fontsize{14}{17}}
\newcommand{\ssecfnt}{\fontsize{12}{14}}
\makeatletter
\def\@makechapterhead#1{%
\vspace*{50\p@}%
{\parindent \z@ \raggedright \normalfont
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
\chapfnt\bfseries \@chapapp\space \thechapter
\par\nobreak
\vskip 20\p@
\fi
\interlinepenalty\@M
\chapfnt \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
\vskip 40\p@
}}
\renewcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}%
{-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
{2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%
{\normalfont\secfnt\bfseries}}
\renewcommand\subsection{\@startsection{subsection}{2}{\z@}%
{-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
{1.5ex \@plus .2ex}%
{\normalfont\ssecfnt\bfseries}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}
\section{Test}
\subsection{More}
test
\end{document}
Best Answer
First of all, under an
11ptdocument class option, you need to know the different font sizes associated with the font switching commands. Either examinesize11.clo, or see What point (pt) font size are\Largeetc.?The rest can be taken directly from
report.cls:\chapter; examine\@makechapterhead(or the starred equivalent\@makeschapterhead):\huge\bfseries= 20.74pt\section; examine the parameters passed to\@startsection:\Large\bfseries= 14.4pt\subsection; examine the parameters passed to\@startsection:\large\bfseries= 12pt\subsubsection; examine the parameters passed to\@startsection:\normalsize\bfseries= 11ptRegular paragraph
\parskip= 0pt\normalsize= 11pt\parskip= 0ptLaTeX does provide
\paragraphand\subparagraphheadings, but they are rarely used.Note that LaTeX's headings have some rubber lengths built in, meaning the length may vary slightly, depending on the actual page content. However, this is of no concern for websites.
