Hi
I'm using latex to (re-)produce a technical manual which is typeset in a
compact format,
and I wish to keep close to the original formatting.
The chapter style is quite simple but I can't find the way to modify any of the
available packages to reproduce it.
So far I've resorted to formatting the chapter heading in-line, as it occurs,
rather that using
a LaTeX technique.
The look of the chapter heading is such that the 'chaptername' and
'chapternumber' in \small size, to the left, and the 'chaptertitle' is
centered, in \LARGE small caps and bold.
The following lines produce the right format:
chapter 1
\vspace{-2mm}
\begin{center}
\LARGE\textsc{\textbf{Getting Started}}
\end{center}
\vspace{2mm}
However I think I should be doing it the latex way...
There seems to be plenty of help available for fancy chapter styles. What I
want is so simple that I haven't been able to find it by googling. The
essential difficulty is that the chapter name and number are to be on the left,
while the chapter title is to be centered.
Any ideas? Or do I finally buy the Latex Companion?
