I am creating the format for my document and trying to set up the chapter/section/subsection etc.
When using the \chapter command the title is automatically indented. How do I make the chapter title move to the left of the page?
\documentclass[titlepage]{article}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\begin{document}
\chapter{\Large \bf CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION}
\section{}
\subsection{First Section}
\end{document}
I would Like it to say "CHAPTER1: INTRODUCTION" on the left of the page, and below that say "1.1 First Section".
Best Answer
article
doesn't have a\chapter
command, so what's happening is that this text is being treated as a new paragraph.really, you're not using the
article
markup at all. since putting in null\section
won't do any harm, i'm just going to suggest that you enter your title asoh, and
\maketitle
doesn't do anything here without a title.someone else will no doubt suggest that you use a package to modify the heading formats. (i'm a bit of a renegade, and don't usually use packages for that sort of modification, so i don't know the package facilities without looking them up. and my method for making such changes is too arcane to spring on someone with little experience.)
what i do recommend, however, is that you read up on the
report
class. that has\chapter
and the rest of the structural headings defined, so it fits more closely what you seem to have in mind here. and then look into other packages for adapting the format of the headings.
