After finishing my thesis I am starting to write a book with all my poems. Due to my thesis I am used to scrbook class and can handle koma script a bit. But I fail at adjusting the section headings. Consider the following MWE (using LuaLaTeX and depicting a typical verse scheme of mine) using a design I asked for before.:
\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\usepackage{Alegreya}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{pgf}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\definecolor{themecolor}{RGB}{180, 220, 70}
% Design Chapter
\renewcommand\raggedchapter{\raggedleft}
\setkomafont{chapter}{\Huge}
\setkomafont{chapterprefix}{\large\scshape\rmfamily}
\tikzset{
headings/base/.style = {
outer sep = 5pt,
inner sep = 0pt,
inner xsep = 10pt,
},
headings/chapterbackground/.style = {
headings/base,
font = \strut,% equal height no matter if capitals or 'g', 'p', etc are used or not
},
headings/chapapp/.style = {
headings/base,
text = themecolor,
font = \usekomafont{chapterprefix}
},
headings/chapterline/.style = {
themecolor,
line width = 2pt,
}
}
\makeatletter%
\renewcommand*\chapterlinesformat[3]{%
\ifstr{#1}{chapter}{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(title.base)]
\nodeheadings/chapterbackground{%
\parbox[t]
{\dimexpr\textwidth-2\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/outer xsep}\relax}%
{\raggedchapter #3}%
};
\node[headings/chapapp,anchor=south east]
at ([xshift=0pt, yshift=-12pt]title.north east){\ifstr{#2}{}{}{\chapapp}\strut};% Positionierung chapterprefix
\useasboundingbox
(current bounding box.north west)
rectangle
([xshift=0pt, yshift=-10pt]current bounding box.south east);%
\draw[headings/chapterline]
(current bounding box.south east)++(0.5\pgflinewidth,0)--+(0,\paperheight);
\end{tikzpicture}
\par
}{%
@hangfrom{#2}{#3}% other section levels using style=chapter
}%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\chapter{Poems of Love}
\addsec{Title of the poem}
This is the first line\
and this the second line of a verse.
\bigskip
This is where the common text starts.\\
\blindtext
This is a new block without parskip.
\blindtext
\bigskip
\blindtext
\bigskip
This is the first line\\
and the second of the last verse.
\end{document}
What I would like to achieve is: Chaptertitle instead of chapterprefix Sectiontitle instead of chaptertitle Considering the MWE, something like this:
Poems of Love (instead of "Chapter", green color)
Title of the poem (instead of "Poems of love", black color)
This is the first line ...
However, I tried to replace "chapter" and "chapterlinesformat" by "section" and "sectionlinesformat", but that does not work and gives error messages. I plan to have the actual chaptertitle on a single page and let the chaptertitle appear again above every section. I hope this link with an example works.
PS: I am not tied to scrbook. I've just chosen it because I know it the most due to my theses. I tried memoir class before but was unsatisfied with the layout. So I am open to any suggestions to ease my ideas and appreciate your help.
\renewcommand*{\chapapp}{Poems of love}and then using\chapter{Title of the poem}? – Schweinebacke Oct 20 '18 at 13:52memoirprovides for many different layouts. If you didn't like the "out of the box" layout what did you try? – Peter Wilson Oct 20 '18 at 18:26
