I want to set chapters to look like 'bigger' sections.
Now in the report
class I have a style like:
Chapter 1
Introduction
1.1. Section
What I want to achieve is:
- Introduction
1.1. Section
I don't want to change the document class.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}
{\normalfont\LARGE\bfseries}{\thechapter}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{3.5ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{2.3ex plus .2ex}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}
\section{Section}
\end{document}
The package documentation will tell you more. Type texdoc titlesec
at the command prompt or follow the link to CTAN at the beginning of this answer.
\thechapter.
in the \titleformat
definition. Similar for sections.
\renewcommand
within your document instead to redefine the respective macro. Other documents might base on report.cls
, so you would change their layout as well, also your future report documents.
Use the KOMA-Script class
\documentclass[numbers=enddot]{scrreprt}
