Don’t misuse headings for your titlepage. As a titlepage is something special you can use \midaligned, \definedfont etc. to format it, e.g.
Thanks for the answer, but - - to describe better my situation: I'm not creating a typical book, but a special kind of report, with many code generated by Lua, many \typefiles and many included PDFs. And here, there are heads being used as: - "normal" heads (left-aligned; appended by normal text) and - "title-like" heads (mid-aligned) which should stand alone on a page (e.g. being appended by other pdf documents on the next page). Both kinds of heads should be numbered and should be involved to TOC; so in this point of view, they have the same status. So e.g.: --- (page) --- Chapter 1 <- Normally left-aligned Section 1.1 <- Normally left-aligned Some text some text some text some text --- (page) --- Chapter 2 <- Mid-aligned Section 2.1 <- Mid-aligned --- (page) --- +------------+ | Another | | pdf | +------------+ --- (page) --- So "Chapter 1" and "Section 1.1" are "normal" heads, probably typeset by \chapter and \section. As my primary intention was not to "force" normal heads to be aligned otherwise, I derived new head styles \chapterMiddle and \sectionMiddle, which are used to generate "Chapter 2" and "Section 2.1". But the problem is that TOC becomes visually "crashed" once \sectionMiddle has been defined. So how to solve it? Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.
