[Tex/LaTex] How to change the appearance of the AMS Article title

amsarttitles

I am writing a document with \documentclass{amsart}. How do you change the appearance of the title in a document like this? It is set to all caps, bold, and a certain size. I can change it to italics with \textit{}, but I can't do anything else. I want to change the title to Large roman text. It seems like \renewcommand{\title} would work, but I don't know how to use this command. Thanks for your help!

You can redefine \@settitle and introduce your font modifications there; a little example suppressing the bold-faced font and using \LARGE:

\documentclass{amsart}

\makeatletter
\def\@settitle{\begin{center}%
  \baselineskip14\p@\relax
    %\bfseries
    \normalfont\LARGE%<- NEW
\uppercasenonmath\@title
  \@title
  \end{center}%
}
\makeatother
\title{This is an interesting title}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] amsart and titlesec – title font won’t change

\title cannot be modified using titlesec package. I think that easiest solution is to make title by yourself, using the center environment:

\documentclass[12pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{geometry}                % See geometry.pdf to learn the layout options. 
\geometry{letterpaper}                   % ... or a4paper or a5paper or ... 
%\geometry{landscape}                % Activate for for rotated page geometry
%\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}    % Activate to begin paragraphs with an empty line rather than an indent
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\newcommand*{\justifyheading}{\raggedright}
\titleformat {\section}
  {\normalfont \large \bfseries \justifyheading}{\thesection}{1em}{}
\titleformat {\subsection}
  {\normalfont \large \bfseries \justifyheading}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}

\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{png}{.png}{`convert #1 `dirname #1`/`basename #1 .tif`.png}

\title{Recall Some Preliminaries}
\begin{document}

\vspace*{3ex minus 1ex}
\begin{center}
\Large\bfseries\MakeUppercase{\shorttitle}
\end{center}
\vskip 5ex minus 1ex

\section*{Tensor Calculus}
%\subsection{}

whatever

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to change the appearance of subsections, subsubsections, etc. in an AMS Article

The \subsection is defined in amsart.cls as:

\def\subsection{\@startsection{subsection}{2}%
  \z@{.5\linespacing\@plus.7\linespacing}{-.5em}%
  {\normalfont\bfseries}}

This definition can be patched to redefine the font with etoolbox:

\documentclass{amsart}

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\subsection}{\bfseries}{\itshape}{}{}

\begin{document}

\subsection{Subsection}
Content.

\end{document}

This will give the subsection style as:

Edit: Remove in-line heading

The in-line heading is caused by the -.5em distance that is given for separation. A negative number is interpreted as "horizontal distance to skip". To have the section start on the next line (and the number interpreted as "vertical distance to skip"), this must be a positive number. This can be accomplished by adding:

\patchcmd{\subsection}{-.5em}{.5em}{}{}

The full example (with a bit more text) becomes:

\documentclass{amsart}

\usepackage{lipsum} % just for extra text
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\subsection}{\bfseries}{\itshape}{}{}
\patchcmd{\subsection}{-.5em}{.5em}{}{}


\begin{document}

\subsection{Subsection}
Content. \lipsum

\end{document}
