Page Layout ⇒ Line Breaks in Chapter Headings

[Vilietha]

Hello,

I use a chapter heading layout which centers the headings in the middle of the page. A few of my headings however are a bit too large for one line, and thus the last word breaks to the next line. However, this looks usually quite awkward, and I would like to control the position where the break occurs. I tried \newline, and it works of course, but the problem then is that the break also occurs in the toc. But in the toc it should still be a single line, as it fits inside one line.

I look forward to your answers,
Vilietha

Please provide some useful information and show us by a minimal example how you center your chapter headings. Otherwise the problem remains academic.

Hello Thorsten,

thank you for your answer.

Actually I just found the solution. It is so simple...
One simply can use the optional argument of the chapter command as follows:

Code: Select all

1
\chapter[Chaptername in Toc]{Chaptername in main document}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה

Now one can use as many line breaks if one wishes.
(Of course I would have provided the wished example if I wouldn't have found the solution).

Best wishes,
