I like the section titles in the amsart document class.

Is it possible to have a standard article, but the section titles from the amsart document class?

I have looked at titlesec package, but I do not know how to find the style of the section titles from the amsart document class.

Here is a solution using the titlesec package. Add the following lines to your preamble to mimic the section headings of the amsart class.

\usepackage[indentafter]{titlesec}
\titleformat{name=\section}{}{\thetitle.}{0.8em}{\centering\scshape}
\titleformat{name=\subsection}[runin]{}{\thetitle.}{0.5em}{\bfseries}[.]
\titleformat{name=\subsubsection}[runin]{}{\thetitle.}{0.5em}{\itshape}[.]
\titleformat{name=\paragraph,numberless}[runin]{}{}{0em}{}[.]
\titlespacing{\paragraph}{0em}{0em}{0.5em}
\titleformat{name=\subparagraph,numberless}[runin]{}{}{0em}{}[.]
\titlespacing{\subparagraph}{0em}{0em}{0.5em}

As a comparison, here is a sample document typeset with the article class and the titlesec package on the one hand and with the amsart class on the other one.

The code for the document with article+titlesec:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[indentafter]{titlesec}
\titleformat{name=\section}{}{\thetitle.}{0.8em}{\centering\scshape}
\titleformat{name=\subsection}[runin]{}{\thetitle.}{0.5em}{\bfseries}[.]
\titleformat{name=\subsubsection}[runin]{}{\thetitle.}{0.5em}{\itshape}[.]
\titleformat{name=\paragraph,numberless}[runin]{}{}{0em}{}[.]
\titlespacing{\paragraph}{0em}{0em}{0.5em}
\titleformat{name=\subparagraph,numberless}[runin]{}{}{0em}{}[.]
\titlespacing{\subparagraph}{0em}{0em}{0.5em}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\section{First section (article with titlesec)}
\blindtext
\subsection{First subsection}
\blindtext
\subsubsection{First subsubsection}
\blindtext
\paragraph{First paragraph}
\blindtext
\subparagraph{First subparagraph}
\blindtext
\end{document}

The code for the amsart class:

\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\section{First section (amsart)}
\blindtext
\subsection{First subsection}
\blindtext
\subsubsection{First subsubsection}
\blindtext
\paragraph{First paragraph}
\blindtext
\subparagraph{First subparagraph}
\blindtext
\end{document}

  • And subsubsections are just like subsections except the font is \itshape. Also paragraph and subparagraph are by default not numbered and the font is just \normalfont. – Dan Dec 07 '16 at 22:10
  • @Dan Thanks. I have now also added the definitions of the other section commands. – gernot Dec 08 '16 at 01:12

Specific for \sections, you can use the following setup:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{sectsty,indentfirst}
\sectionfont{\normalfont\centering\scshape\normalsize}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@seccntformat}[1]{\csname the#1\endcsname.\quad}
\makeatother

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\section{A section}\lipsum[1]

\end{document}
