introduction
Documents usually have some sort of “logical structure”: division into chapters, sections, subsections, etc. to organize your content. LaTeX supports creating a document structure and also allows for customization of sections and numbering. The commands available to organize a document depend on the type of document you are using, although the simplest form of organization, tiling, is available in all formats.
basic example
Let's start with a simple example to demonstrate this\Section{title section}Command that marks the beginning of a new section with the nametitle section. Section numbering is automatic and can be customized or disabled.
\documentclass{Article}\Use package{Braille text}\Title{sections and chapters}\Author{Behind}\Meeting{\hey}\begin{document}\maketitle\Section{introduction}This is the first section.\ Braille text\Section{second part}this is the second section\ Braille text\Fin{document}
Open this example on the back.
This example produces the following output:
Document Splitting
LaTeX can organize, number, and index chapters and sections of a document. Depending on the type of document, there are up to 7 levels of depth to define sections:
| -1 | \part{part} |
| 0 | \chapter{chapter} |
| 1 | \section{section} |
| 2 | \subsection{subsection} |
| 3 | \subsubsection{subsubsection} |
| 4 | \paragraph{paragraph} |
| 5 | \subparagraph{Unterabsatz} |
Mostly,\Sectionis the top-level document command in most documents. However, in reports or similar long books and documents this would be the case\ChapterÖ\Part.
Numbered and unnumbered sections
Around a chapter, section, subsection, etc. not numbered, add an asterisk (*) at the end of the command before the opening curly bracket. These are not included in the summary. Here's our first example (above), but this time with\Section*rather than\Section:
\documentclass{Article}\Use package{Braille text}\Title{sections and chapters}\Author{Behind}\Meeting{\hey}\begin{document}\maketitle\Section*{introduction}This is the first section.\ Braille text\Section*{second part}this is the second section\ Braille text\Fin{document}
Open this example on the back.
This example produces the following output:
Unnumbered sections in the table of contents
To add an unnumbered section to the table of contents, use the\addcontentslineCommand like this:
\addcontentsline{toc}{Section}{section heading}
Here is an example with\addcontentslinebut see articleTable of contentsfor more information and examples.
\documentclass{Article}\Title{sections and chapters}\Author{Behind}\Meeting{\hey}\begin{document}\maketitle\Table of contents\nuevocomando\shortlorem{It is important to take care of the patient, to be accompanied by the doctor, but it is a time of great pain and suffering. Because no one should do any work, down to the smallest detail, unless he gets some benefit from it.}\Section{introduction}This is the first (numbered) section.\shortlorem\addcontentsline{toc}{Section}{unnumbered section}\Section*{unnumbered section}An unnumbered section\shortlorem\Section{second part}The second numbered section.\shortlorem\Fin{document}
Open this example on the back.
This example produces the following output:
Document chapters and sections in a book/report
As mentioned above,\Chaptercan be used in books and reports.

There are two general commands:
\Title format{<command>}[<Form>]{<Format>}{<Tag>}{<set>}{<alter Code>}[<zip code>]
Where from[<Form>]j[<zip code>]are optional parameters and:
<command>is the cut command to reset:\Part,\Chapter,\Section,\subsection,\subsubsection,\Unit volumeÖ\subparagraph.<Form>it is partitioned paragraph form; possible values are:switch off,Block,Show,shrink,left edge,right bank,release,envelopejMarco.<Format>is the format applied to the title, label, and body; for example\normalfont\Large\bfseries<Tag>Specify the cut label.<set>is the horizontal space between the tag and the body of the title and must have a length and cannot be empty.<alter Code>is the code that precedes the body of the title.<zip code>is the code that follows the body of the title.
j
\titlespacing{<command>}{<links>}{<before September>}{<after September>}
Where from:
<links>increases the left margin.<before September>is the vertical space before the title.<after September>It is the separation between the title and the text that is not divided.
The highlighted version of this command (\titlespace*) removes the indentation of the paragraph following the heading.
