Without a minimal working example (MWE), it is difficult to give a precise answer, but here is an example of how to use
titlesec
for this purpose:The command you are interested in is
\titleformat
and it has the following syntax:where the role of each argument is documented on page 4 of the
titlesec
manual (accessible by typingtexdoc titlesec
in a shell or here). Basically, you should put in<format>
the formatting commands that should apply to both the label and chapter name,<label>
is just how you want the label to appear (leaving blank would remove "Chapter 1" for instance), while<before-code>
concerns the formatting commands that appear just before the chapter name. In my example, both the label and the chapter name are\bfseries
, while the label is\huge
and the chapter name is\Huge
