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!

  • It's not clear what you would want them to look like. I assume you don't want "Section 1" on its own line followed a rule and a centred title. But once you've decided, you need to use the regular memoir sectioning formatting tools to create centred titles. See e.g. p 94ff in the memoir manual, especially Example 6.1 (p. 98, code on p.97).

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.
