Dir Sir or Madam,
I already searched this problem in wiki and the documentations, but I couldn't fix it. I'm using the article class for my master's thesis and I have to put defined vertical spaces before and after chapter-, section- and subsection-headings. For example before chapter the space has to be 40pt, after it 30pt, and then should be next the text. I adjusted the stdlayout.inc file (TopSep, BottomSep), LyX interpreted it right, but in the pdf, there were no changes. Then I tried it with KOMA-Script: \RedeclareSectionCommand[beforeskip=42pt, afterskip=30pt]{chapter} I got an error, that \begin{document} is missing, then I tried several places in the document to put it in, but the error was still there. Can you help me? Kind Regards Serge Vouillarmet
