Horizontal rule under section titles

In textbooks, sections are often emphasized in by an horizontal rule below the the section title. Here’s how to do that in LaTeX, using the sectsty package. When using this package, new command become available and one of them is \sectionfont. The name of this command is somewhat misleading, since it’s not just the font that can be changed with this command. For an example, click here to see the ‘Report-1′ template I posted in the Templates section.
Sectionfont
I might post an in-depth article about the fonts that can be used in LaTeX (not XeTeX, where any font is available) later on, but that is not what we’re focussing on here. We want a horizontal rule underneath the section title!
To do this, we use the following command:
\sectionrule{top}{top thickness}{bottom}{bottom thickness} |
The first to arguments correspond to a horizontal rule above the section title and the last two correspond to a bottom rule. The top and bottom arguments determine by what value the top and bottom rules are shifted up. When a negative value is entered, the rule shifts down. The thickness arguments speak for themselves: how thick the rules will be.
How to use the \sectionrule command? It needs to be implemented inside the \sectionfont command. In a document, you should define it like this:
\usepackage{sectsty} \sectionfont{ \sectionrule{0pt}{0pt}{-5pt}{0.8pt} } |
In this example, no upper rule is created and the 0.8pt thick bottom rule is shifted down by 5pt.
