[Tex/LaTex] How to make a bold horizontal rule under each section title

rulessectioning

I want to place a long bold \hrule-type line under the \section to make it more distinctive. How can I do that?

Best Answer

You can use the titlesec package; the optional argument for \titlerule allows you to control the rule "thickness":

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\section}
  {\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}[{\titlerule[0.8pt]}]

\begin{document}

\section{Test Section}

\end{document}

Use the optional argument of \titlerule to specify the rule height. Note that you'll have to wrap \titlerule[<height>] into braces if you're using it in the optional argument of \titleformat.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\section}
    {\Large\scshape\raggedright}{}{0em}{}[{\titlerule[2pt]}]

\begin{document}

\section{foo}

\end{document}

Two vertical rules separated by a space (of \tabcolsep in tabular) is given by || in the column specification. To remove the space between them, use |@{}|. If you want it thicker, you can use |@{}|@{}|, or add more @{}|'s.

enter image description here

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}   

\begin{frame}
  \begin{tabular}{c | c || c |@{}| c |@{}|@{}| c |@{}|@{}|@{}| c |@{}|@{}|@{}|@{}| c}
    A & B & C & D & E & F & G
  \end{tabular}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
