[Tex/LaTex] Vertical space after title of unnumbered chapters (bibliography/ToC)

chapterssectioningspacingstarred-versiontitlesec

The title pretty much says it all: It is possible to add arbitrary vertical space after the title of the ToC or bibliography page within the report document class?

Best Answer

It is possible with titlesec to specify different formatting for numbered and unnumbered versions of sectioning commands: Use the numberless key within the first argument of \titleformat and/or \titlespacing. See p. 9 of the titlesec manual for details. (Note: For \titlespacing to work with \chapter or \part, you have to use \titleformat as well.)

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
    {\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\chaptertitlename~\thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{50pt}{40pt}
\titlespacing*{name=\chapter,numberless}{0pt}{200pt}{40pt}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{foo}

\begin{thebibliography}{9}
\bibitem{1} A bibitem.
\end{thebibliography}

\end{document}
