Spacing Issue Between Chapter Title and Chapter Title Body | Long Chapter Title

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Grabinuo on April 20, 2021

How do I remove the spacing between Chapter and its name?

CHAPTER#

CHAPTER NAME

to 

CHAPTER#
CHAPTER NAME

I have tried using

titleformat{chapter}[display]{fontsize{20}{24}selectfontbfseriescentering}{CHAPTER thechapter}{-5mm}{}[]

But, for long titles that will expand to multiple lines the spacing will be inconsistent. You can see the spacing between CHAPTER 1 and LONG CHAPTER THAT WILL CAUSE THIS ISSUE. How do I fix this? And make the content of the title close to the chapter number without inconsistency.

One Answer

That vertical space that seems wrong to you is actually correct. What is wrong is the space after "CHAPTER 1". This is partly due to your definition of chapter and partly due to the use of the parskip package (or redefining parskip to 8pt).

I used the fontsize package to change the normal size and line spacing. By using fontspec, however, you can also act differently.

Below is a mwe:

documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
usepackage[skip=8pt]{parskip}
usepackage{titlesec} % Title format
usepackage{geometry} % Paper margins
geometry{a4paper,left=2.54cm,right=2.54cm,top=2.54cm,bottom=2.54cm}
usepackage{fontspec}
  setmainfont{Times New Roman}
%================================================================
%         FONT SETTING

usepackage{fontsize}
  changefontsize[16.2]{12}

%         TITLE SETTING

titleformat{chapter}[display]{%
  parskip=0pt
  fontsize{20}{24}selectfontbfseriescentering}{CHAPTER 
  thechapter}
  {0mm}
  {}
titleformat{section}
  {fontsize{14}{16.8}selectfontbf}
  {thesection.}
  {0.5em}
  {}
titleformat{subsection}
  {fontsize{13}{18.2}bf}
  {thesubsection.}
  {0.5em}
  {}
titlespacing{section}{0in}{12pt}{8pt}
titlespacing{chapter}{0cm}{0cm}{0cm}
titlespacing{subsection}{0in}{12pt}{8pt}
%================================================================
%         NAMES IN title/names_super
%================================================================
usepackage{lipsum}
begin{document}
  chapter{LONG CHAPTER THAT WILL CAUSE THIS ISSUE}
  lipsum
