I have to write a document with the following characteristics:
- US letter size paper
- Two column with space between columns of 9.9mm
- Left and right margins of 23mm
- Top margin of 30mm and bottom of 35mm
- The "Resumen", Abstact and Introduction has to be of size 12, bold and in the center (of the column they belong)
- The following sections has to be of size 10, bold, left aligned
- The subsections has to be of size 10, italic and left aligned
- The size of the actual text has to be 9
- The bibliography content (not heading) has to be of size 8
So far I was able to do 1-7 requirements but I can't do the 8 step. Here is my solution
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{multicol}
\titleformat{\section}[hang]{\centering\large\bfseries}{}{0pt}{}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{}
\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\normalsize\arabic{subsection}}
\titleformat{\subsubsection}{\normalsize\em}{\thesubsubsection}{1em}{}
\title{draft}
\author{Luis}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{multicols}{2}
\small
\section{Resumen}
\blindtext
\section{Abstract}
\blindtext
\section{Introducción}
\blindtext
\subsection{a ver}
\blindtext
\subsubsection{a ver dos}
\blindtext
\end{multicols}
\nocite{Gould}
\bibliographystyle{apacite}
{\footnotesize
\bibliography{mybib}}
\end{document}
I choose the font of size 10pt
because here say the following:
\small
is 9pt\large
is 12pt\footnotesize
is 8pt
I use the package geometry
to defined the papaer size of my document as well as the margins. This solves points 1, 3 and 4. The package multicol
is used to make the document two column.
The \titleformat{...}
makes the sections numberless but the subsection and subsubsection keep their numbering. This solves points 5, 6 and 7.
To make normal text of size 9, I use the command \small
inside the multicols enviroment, and I think this solves point 8.
But I can't make the text in my bibliography to be of size 8pt, that is the size of \footnotesize
. The file mybib.bib
has the following entrie:
@book{Gould,
author="Gould, S",
title="Russian for the mathematician",
year="1972",
address="NY, US",
publisher="Springer-Verlag"}
I have read some questions and their answers but so far none work for me, how can I mak it?
*NOTE If you compile the code, you will find out that blindtext doesn't work in spanish, but this error does not affect the formating
