In part 3, you will learn about another great feature of LaTeX: the flexibility of granular document formatting. This article covers customizing the page layout, table of contents, title sections, and page style.</p>
<p> <span id="more-31403"></span> </p>
<h2>Page dimension</h2>
<p>When you first wrote your LaTeX document you may have noticed that the default margin is slightly bigger than you may imagine. The margins have to do with the type of paper you specified, for example, a4, letter, and the document class: article, book, report, and so on. To modify the page margins there are a few options, one of the simplest options is using the <em><a href="https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fullpage">fullpage</a></em> package.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>This package sets the body of the page such that the page is almost full.</p>
<p><cite>Fullpage package documentation</cite></p></blockquote>
<p>The illustration below demonstrates the LaTeX default body compared to using the fullpage package.</p>
<p>Another option is to use the <a href="https://www.ctan.org/geometry">geometry</a> package. Before you explore how the geometry package can manipulate margins, first look at the page dimensions as depicted below.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/latex-typesetting-part-3-formatting.png" alt="" class="wp-image-31418" /></figure>
<ol>
<li>one inch + \hoffset</li>
<li>one inch + \voffset</li>
<li>\oddsidemargin = 31pt</li>
<li>\topmargin = 20pt</li>
<li>\headheight = 12pt</li>
<li>\headsep = 25pt</li>
<li>\textheight = 592pt</li>
<li>\textwidth = 390pt</li>
<li>\marginparsep = 35pt</li>
<li>\marginparwidth = 35pt</li>
<li>\footskip = 30pt</li>
</ol>
<p>To set the margin to 1 (one) inch using the geometry package use the following example </p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper, margin=1in}</pre>
<p>In addition to the above example, the geometry command can modify the paper size, and orientation. To change the size of the paper, use the example below:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">\usepackage[a4paper, total={7in, 8in}]{geometry}</pre>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/latex-typesetting-part-3-formatting-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-31479" /></figure>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/latex-typesetting-part-3-formatting-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-31480" /></figure>
<p>To change the page orientation, you need to add <em>landscape</em> to the geometry options as shown below:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">\usepackage{geometery}
\geometry{a4paper, landscape, margin=1.5in</pre>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/latex-typesetting-part-3-formatting-3.png" alt="" class="wp-image-31487" /><figcaption>Landscape Orientation</figcaption></figure>
<h2>Table of contents</h2>
<p>By default, a LaTeX table of contents is titled “Contents”. There are times when you prefer to relabel the text to be “Table of Content”, change the vertical spacing between the ToC and your first section of chapter, or simply change the color of the text. </p>
<p>To change the text you add the following lines to your preamble, substitute <em>english</em> with your desired language :</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">\usepackage[english]{babel}
\addto\captionsenglish{
\renewcommand{\contentsname}
{\bfseries{Table of Contents}}}</pre>
<p>To manipulate the virtual spacing between ToC and the list of figures, sections, and chapters, use the <a href="https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tocloft">tocloft</a> package. The two options used in this article are <em>cftbeforesecskip</em> and <em>cftaftertoctitleskip</em>.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>The tocloft package provides means of controlling the typographic design of the ToC, List of Figures and List of Tables.</p>
<p><cite>Tocloft package doucmentation</cite></p></blockquote>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">\usepackage{tocloft}
\setlength\ctfbeforesecskip{2pt}
\setlength\cftaftertoctitleskip{30pt}</pre>
<p><em>cftbeforesecskip</em> is the spacing between the sections in the ToC, while<br /><em>cftaftertoctitleskip</em> is the space between text “Table of Contents” and the first section in the ToC. The below image shows the differences between the default and the modified ToC.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/latex-typesetting-part-3-formatting-4.png" alt="" class="wp-image-31481" /><figcaption>Default ToC</figcaption></figure>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/latex-typesetting-part-3-formatting-5.png" alt="" class="wp-image-31482" /><figcaption>Customized ToC</figcaption></figure>
<h2>Borders</h2>
<p>When using the package <em><a href="https://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperref">hyperref</a></em> in your document, LaTeX section lists in the ToC and references including <em>\url</em> have a border, as shown in the images below. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/latex-typesetting-part-3-formatting-6.png" alt="" class="wp-image-31483" /></figure>
<p>To remove these borders, include the following in the preamble, In the previous section, “Table of Contents,” you will see that there are not any borders in the ToC.</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{ pdfborder = {0 0 0}}</pre>
<h2>Title section</h2>
<p>To modify the title section font, style, and/or color, use the package <em><a href="https://www.ctan.org/pkg/titlesec">titlesec</a></em>. In this example, you will change the font size, font style, and font color of the section, subsection, and subsubsection. First, add the following to the preamble.</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat*{\section}{\Huge\bfseries\color{darkblue}}
\titleformat*{\subsection}{\huge\bfseries\color{darkblue}}
\titleformat*{\subsubsection}{\Large\bfseries\color{darkblue}}</pre>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/latex-typesetting-part-3-formatting-7.png" alt="" class="wp-image-31484" /></figure>
<p>Taking a closer look at the code, <em>\titleformat*{\section}</em> specifies the depth of section to use. The above example, uses up to the third depth. The<em> {\Huge\bfseries\color{darkblue}}</em> portion specifies the size of the font, font style and, font color</p>
<h2>Page style</h2>
<p>To customize the page headers and footers one of the packages, use <em><a href="https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr">fancyhdr</a></em>. This example uses this package to modify the page style, header, and footer. The code below provides a brief description of what each option does.</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">\pagestyle{fancy} %for header to be on each page
\fancyhead[L]{} %keep left header blank
\fancyhead[C]{} %keep centre header blank
\fancyhead[R]{\leftmark} %add the section/chapter to the header right
\fancyfoot[L]{Static Content} %add static test to the left footer
\fancyfoot[C]{} %keep centre footer blank
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage} %add the page number to the right footer
\setlength\voffset{-0.25in} %space between page border and header (1in + space)
\setlength\headheight{12pt} %height of the actual header.
\setlength\headsep{25pt} %separation between header and text.
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{2pt} % add header horizontal line
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{1pt} % add footer horizontal line</pre>
<p>The results of this change are shown below:</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/latex-typesetting-part-3-formatting-8.png" alt="" class="wp-image-31485" /><figcaption>Header</figcaption></figure>

<h3>Add watermarks</h3>
<p>To enable watermarks in your LaTeX document, use the <em><a href="https://www.ctan.org/pkg/draftwatermark">draftwatermark</a></em> package. The below code snippet and image demonstrates the how to add a watermark to your document. By default the watermark color is grey which can be modified to your desired color.</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">\usepackage{draftwatermark} \SetWatermarkText{\color{red}Classified} %add watermark text \SetWatermarkScale{4} %specify the size of the text</pre>
