General ⇒ reduce vertical space in multiple line section titles

[christina_t]

Hi again! Is there an easy way to reduce the vertical space between multiple lines in the \section, \subsection etc? It looks very ugly with that much space between the lines of the section title. I am using the report class. many thanks in advance!

Hi Christina,

it depends on how you've created the spacing. If you've changed \baselinestretch or used setspace this workaround could help:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\newcommand\std@startsection{}
\let\std@startsection\@startsection
\def\@startsection{\renewcommand*\baselinestretch{1}\std@startsection}
\makeatother
