Formatting Sections, Subsesctions and SubSubsections for Legal Contracts

Jura Class: Alternative to lowertitlebackNice formatting for theoremsFormatting labels of chapters and sectionsFormatting and scalingFormatting: Numbering paragraphs of sectionsSub-sections related to sectionsFormatting for glossariesLatex Chapter and section formattingtitlesec ToC formatting — capitalization, subsection numbering for sections, title formattingLandscape and table formattingDifferent formatting for normal and starred chapters

LaTeX looks like it might potentially be a powerful tool for writing legal contracts.

My contracts are formatted quite simply with three descending heading levels. Each heading level is progressively indented .62 cm. The number format progression is as follows: 1. - (a) - (i).

There is also basic text - some of which is centred, others indented and others hanging below a heading.

I am using documentclass{report} and I have not seen any straightforward way to set formatting. Am I missing something?

Simple contract:

1. Section (also boldface, all capitals and underlined)



   (b) Subsection - with possibly some text added.



       (i) Subsubsection - also possibly with some text.

I think what you're looking for is a package called titlesec It's a really nice package that lets you change your section subsection and subsubsection. You use it like:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{titlesec}



titleformat{section}

{hugebfseriesuppercase}      % What the formating looks like of the entire section

{thesection}         % This is for numbering, you can also leave it blank, or put simething else.

{0em}                 % This argument is for the distance, the distance between the       second argument and that we feed to titleformat

{}[titlerule]                    % After the gap, between the number and the title but before the title

begin{document}

section{Some Section}

This is an example section.

end{document}

  If you dont need chapters (with bold large headings and starting on a new page) dont use report class but prefer article, where the section's feature continuous text.
