\chapter { An Introduction to Lua \TeX }
\section { What is it—and what makes it so different? }
Lua \TeX {} is a \textit { toolkit } —it contains sophisticated software tools and components with which you can construct (typeset) a wide range of documents. The sub-title of this article also poses two questions about Lua \TeX : What is it—and what makes it so different? The answer to “What is it?” may seem obvious: “It’s a \TeX {} typesetting engine!” Indeed it is, but a broader view, and one to which this author subscribes, is that Lua \TeX {} is an extremely versatile \TeX -based document construction and engineering system.
\subsection { Explaining Lua \TeX : Where to start? }
The goal of this first article on Lua \TeX {} is to offer a context for understanding what this TeX engine provides and why/how its design enables users to build/design/create a wide range of solutions to complex typesetting and design problems—perhaps also offering some degree of “future proofing”
\chapter { Lua \TeX : Background and history }
\section { Introduction }
Lua \TeX {} is, in \TeX {} terms, “the new kid on the block” despite having been in active development for over 10 years.
\subsection { Lua \TeX : Opening up \TeX ’s “black box” }
Knuth’s original \TeX {} program is the common ancestor of all modern \TeX {} engines in use today and Lua \TeX {} is, in effect, the latest evolutionary step: derived from the pdf \TeX {} program but with the addition of some powerful software components which bring a great deal of extra functionality.

The ⟨code⟩ provided to \verb | \directlua { } | is first converted to tokens using the processes and calculations discussed above; that sequence of tokens is stored in a token list.

Documents usually have some form of “logical structure”: division into chapters, sections, sub-sections etc. to organize its content. LaTeX supports the creation of a document structure and also enables customization of sectioning and numbering. The commands available to organize a document depend on the document class being used, although the simplest form of organization, sectioning, is available in all formats.
Let’s begin with a basic example to demonstrate the \section{ section title } command, which marks the beginning of a new section called section title . Section numbering is automatic and can be customized, or disabled.
This example produces the following output:
LaTeX can organize, number, and index chapters and sections of document. There are up to 7 levels of depth for defining sections depending on the document class:
Usually, \section is the top-level document command in most documents. However, in reports or books, and similar long documents, this would be \chapter or \part .
To get an unnumbered chapter, section, subsection, etc. add an asterisk ( * ) at the end of the command, before the opening curly brace. These will not go into the table of contents. Here is our first example (above) but this time using \section* instead of \section :
This example produces the following output:
To add an unnumbered section to the table of contents, use the \addcontentsline command like this:
Here is an example using \addcontentsline but see the article Table of contents for further information and examples.
This example produces the following output:
As mentioned before, \chapter can be used in books and reports.
Below you can see an example report using text taken the Overleaf article An Introduction to LuaTeX (Part 1): What is it—and what makes it so different?
This example produces the following output—here we show pages 2–4, where the page images have been overlapped to ease presentation:
The following example reproduces text from the report example but with \documentclass{book} , containing parts, chapters, sections, subsections and sub-subsections. If you open the example in Overleaf you should see that sub-subsections produced by \subsubsection are not numbered. That is by design of the book class: if you want to change this behavior, add the following command to your document preamble:
You can use the titlesec package to customize chapters, sections and subsections style in an easy way.
This example produces the following output:
where [] and [] are optional parameters, and:
The starred version of this command ( \titlespacing* ) kills the indentation of the paragraph following the title.

Many books, theses and reports are written in LaTeX using the report or book document classes. Often, the authors make use of the default chapter style. There are, however, a great number of alternative styles available, some of which being very fancy or playful. This post is a collection of alternative chapter styles available, some as packages, others simply in form of LaTeX code.
The default chapter style is often used in (academic) books and theses. Here is an example:
The titlesec package allows basic changes to the standard chapter style, including setting the font style and size or placement of the title. You can do great things with titlesec package and the titleformat command in particular, just be creative (and let me know below)!
See the documentation for more details.
The fncychap package has a nice set of predefined chapter styles. The style is set through the optional argument when loading the package. Available styles include: Sonny, Lenny, Glenn, Conny, Rejne, Bjarne, and Bjornstrup. The package documentation has examples for all available styles. The package will use the LaTeX default chapter style in case the optional argument is not set (i.e. \usepackage{fncychap} ).
Examples of Glenn and Bjornstrup chapter styles provided from the fncychap package:
The memoir document class is more flexible in terms of chapter styles than report or book.
I will not go into detail since there is extensive documentation on the memoir document class (see page 83 onwards). Furthermore, there is additional documentation describing the memoir chapter styles including code examples and output. Below you’ll find one of the examples taken from that document named hansen .
Henrik Stuart wrote this article in 2007 with a series of great chapter styles. They are also based on the memoir document class and the PGF/TikZ package . Here is an example that I like a lot, simply beautiful!
I found a discussion on tex.SX quite enlightening with lots of rather fancy chapter style examples.
This greatly colored example is another chapter style based on PGF/TikZ and titlesec . You can get the code and screenshots from texblog.net or texample .
Did I forget anything? Drop me a comment.
I really like the “Less is More” style – it’s just what I’ve been looking for. Thanks!
Thanks for dropping a comment! Appreciate it. Tom.
First of all: Tom, thank you for an excellent source of TeX and LaTeX information. I reference it frequently.
Second: I just wrote an include for making my chapters look good (to me). Here is the code:
I like the effect (others may not). I offer it PD.
Thanks for sharing the code! For others to use it the way you designed it however, you would also have to provide the jpg and some things that got lost from the preamble like which packages you load and the color definition of chapterbackground . If you agree, I will send you an e-mail so you can attach the picture. Or if you have a place to upload it to, just send me the link.
Looking forward to seeing your chapter style!
Sir; can you give complete code plz; a running one; Thanks anyways
I provided complete minimal working example for all cha
