I have fairly minimal 'bits-and-pieces' knowledge of LaTeX; I've only used it to write theses and technical documents. I want to use it to write a book, too, and in Word I designed the following chapter opening. I'm not asking for a fully-fledged code to produce this result, but some hints towards useful packages and/or documentation would be highly appreciated. The fncychap package didn't prove useful, neither did titlesec.

I'm using the memoir class, by the way.

the look I'm going for.

    You could achieve that with titlesec, but I guess you'll need quite a bit of code to make it working like this. Would be interesting to know which class you're using, because some have their builtin methods to style headings. – Skillmon Dec 17 '22 at 19:46
  • @Skillmon I'm using memoir. I was thinking of using a drop-cap style thingy to get that chapter number using a minipage or something, but I have very little knowledge of how to do that. – WalrusGumboot Dec 17 '22 at 19:52

    Welcome to tex.sx. This isn't quite the same but it might help: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/142401 – barbara beeton Dec 17 '22 at 20:01
  • @barbarabeeton Oh, wow, thanks! That does indeed come quite close. And it confirms my notion of using a parbox to achieve that chapter number. Thank you very much! :) – WalrusGumboot Dec 17 '22 at 20:23
