I was trying to eliminate the vertical space before and after the title of a section by using the titlesec
package and the command \titlespacing*{\section}{0pt}{0pt}{0pt}
, but it works only in eliminating the vertical space after the section title. Before the section title there still is a portion of double space. I've searched the database and didn't find a solution.

Don't switch to \normalsize
inside the argument of \section
; use titlesec
s \titleformat
macro instead.
\documentclass[12pt]{extarticle}
\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\section}{0pt}{*0}{0pt}
\begin{document}
\section*{LOT}
The LOT hypothesis
\section*{The Regress Argument}
RA
\end{document}

Thank you so much, I just had to add
titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}
to my preamble and it solved the problem, although I couldn't edit the source code in LyX and the\normalsize
setting is still there. But it works this way.– chimilJan 8, 2012 at 14:20
setspace
package and\doublespacing
? A a minimal working example (MWE) would be helpful.\usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage{xunicode} \usepackage{xltxtra} \date{} \usepackage[compact]{titlesec} \titlespacing*{\section}{0pt}{*0}{0pt}
setspace
appears with\onehalfspacing
. But the space before the section title is clearly bigger than the one after.
