Thatcher Style Headings and Subheadings in Memoir Class

Question

I'm typesetting my dissertation with the Memoir class, and I would like to use the Thatcher Chapter Style included in Memoir. However, I realized Memoir chapter styles only affect the title of chapters, and not the headings and subheadings.

Is there such a thing as a Thatcher style for these lower-level elements? If not, what would be the most efficient way of implementing them in Memoir?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Assuming that you want your sectional titles centered to match the Thatcher chapterstyle then, following the code of example 6.1 in the manual (> texdoc memoir), try along the following lines:

\documentclass{memoir}
\setsecheadstyle{\large\centering\MakeUppercase} % centered Uppercase section
\setsubsecheadstyle{\scshape\centering} % centered small caps subsection
\setsubsubsecheadstyle{\large\centering} % centered large subsubsection
...
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}

It is up to you to decide what you think should be Thatcher styles for headings below \chapter, the above is just a suggestion, but memoir provides the tools for you to specify your own.
