# [Tex/LaTex] \titlespacing* defaults using the compact option

sectioningspacingtitlesec

Using the titlesec package with the compact option, what are the \titlespacing* defaults (for \section, \subsection, etc.) for the article document class? (I have the standard defaults from the package documentation but cannot find the compact version…)

Looking at titlesec.sty, one sees:

\DeclareOption{compact}{%
\gdef\ttl@space{1}%
\gdef\ttl@chapafter{30\p@}}


the line \gdef\ttl@chapafter{30\p@} simple instructs the usage of 30pt after a chapter title and \gdef\ttl@space{1} indicates 1\beforetitleunit and 1\aftertitleunit for the spacing before and after the tiles, respectively, for lower sectional units, so the compact option corresponds to the values

\titlespacing*{\chapter}
{0pt}{50pt}{30pt}
\titlespacing*{\section}
{0pt}{*1}{*1}
\titlespacing*{\subsection}
{0pt}{*1}{*1}
\titlespacing*{\subsubsection}
{0pt}{*1}{*1}


The default values for \beforetitleunit and \aftertitleunit are:

\beforetitleunit=1ex\@plus.3ex\@minus.06ex
\aftertitleunit=1ex\@plus.1ex
