Writing the thesis Latex format somehow we face some unusual format of chapter. Usually the chapter heading is written like this
Chapter 1
Introduction
however, I would like to make it like the following:
1. Introduction
with Introduction font is small caps font,
For making it happen, getting references from this site, we can add the following option to customize it
* adding the package
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{titlesec}
*add the following lines before \begin{document}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1]{%
\vspace*{50 pt}%
{\setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \raggedright \fontfamily{phv}\selectfont\bfseries\LARGE
\color{blue} {\thechapter.\ #1\par\nobreak\vspace{20 pt}}}}
\makeatother\titleformat{\section}{\color{blue}\fontfamily{phv}\selectfont\bfseries\Large}{\thesection}{1em}{}
\titleformat{\subsection}
{\color{blue}\fontfamily{phv}\selectfont\bfseries\Large}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}
and yay, it works for my Latex document ^^
the full example is here
