Document Classes ⇒ Adjusting the space after section headings in the book class

[gkamel]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to change the space after section headings in the book class? I am using a line spacing of 1.5, but this makes the space after section headings (and subsection headings etc) too large.

Many thanks.

Unfortunately you don't say how you set your line spacing. If not done yet, you should have a look at the setspace package. The described issue then should disappear.


Best regards

Thanks for the reply, Thorsten.

Actually, this is the package I am using already, and I just noticed that \setstretch does not affect the space after section headings as you mentioned. But I would like to change the spacing nonetheless, as it's to large for my liking.

Thanks a lot.

In this case you should take a look at the titlesec package. It provides commands to settings for all heading levels.

Thank you very much, Thorsten; titlesec did the job..

Code: Select all

\titlespacing*{<cmd>}{<left sep>}{<before sep>}{<after sep>}[<right sep>]

Kind regards.
