I'm trying to use the titlesec package, but somehow section names in the \tableofcontents become overlapped with the TOC numbers and subsection names become improperly indented. Here's an example, where I use the standard classes seen here (3.2, p.27) as an example.

\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}
\titleformat{\subsection}{\normalfont\large\bfseries}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Title}

\end{document}

  • Sorry, but titlesec is not compatible with the AMS classes. Just use the article class. – egreg Sep 10 '12 at 20:58

As egreg mentions in his comment (and as you've already experienced), titlesec and amsart are not compatible; you have two options:

  1. Switch to the standard article class.

  2. Change \section, \subsection and \@secnumfont as implemented in amsart.cls to get the desired layout.

Here's an example of the redefinitions for the second option:

\documentclass{amsart}

\makeatletter
\def\@secnumfont{\bfseries}
\def\section{\@startsection{section}{1}%
  \z@{.7\linespacing\@plus\linespacing}{.5\linespacing}%
  {\normalfont\Large\bfseries}}
\def\subsection{\@startsection{subsection}{2}%
  \z@{.5\linespacing\@plus.7\linespacing}{-.5em}%
  {\normalfont\large\bfseries}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Title}

\end{document}

enter image description here

Probably you will also want to redefine \specialsection, whose definition is 

\def\specialsection{\@startsection{section}{1}%
  \z@{\linespacing\@plus\linespacing}{.5\linespacing}%
  {\normalfont\centering}}

  • I added an extra question, but nevermind. I might as well work with the article class and alter its default fonts/headings to emulate amsart's, which is probably easier than dealing with very nitpicky things regarding headers, TOCs, and section headings in amsart. Thanks a bunch! – Dustin Tran Sep 11 '12 at 11:38
