change the font of chapter title and section title
13,668
\uppercase
requires a parameter, which is not supported in this argument of \titleformat
. But it's supported within another argument, that's why this works:
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\normalfont\Large\centering}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{0pt}{\Large\uppercase}
The very last command in the last mandatory argument here can take an argument, which is the title text.

I am trying to change the font and format of heading using
titlesec
package. However it gives me the following error.
Missing { inserted \tableofcontents <br> Missing { inserted \chapter{Introduction}
The code:
\documentclass[10pt, letterpaper]{report} \usepackage{thesis} \usepackage{titlesec} \renewcommand{\chaptername}{CHAPTER}{\Large} \titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{0.5in}{0.3in} \titleformat{\chapter}[display] {\normalfont\Large\centering\uppercase}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{0pt}{\Large} \titleformat{\section}{\large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{} \begin{document} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \tableofcontents \chapter{Introduction} Some text. \end{document}

Werner over 11 yearsNote that the renewal of your
\chaptername
doesn't have the correct format - only 2 arguments are required:\renewcommand{\chaptername}{CHAPTER}
. The{\Large}
has no meaning within the document preamble.

\MakeUppercase
is better than\uppercase
. If one wants to specify more complex management of the title, one can loadtitlesec
with theexplicit
option and then it's required to specify the title with#1
.
