APPENDIX 1

APPENDIX TITLE

dcpurton commented 8 years ago

Point 1: Will do!

Point 2: I think this might be to do with double spacing. I'll look into it.

Point 3: I think this has changed with the second edition of the student supplement. Can you please check in with https://www.sbl-site.org/assets/pdfs/pubs/SBLHSsupp2015-02.pdf

There is also an inconsistency with the numbering of appendices. The exmaple TOC has "Appendix 1: …", while the actual heading has "Appendix 1. …" I opted for the colon, since it looks nicer (IMHO).

on pt. 2 it looks like the new student supplement has changed the spacing. So ignore my above comment. The spacing between \section and paragraph text has increased. I'm checking the spacing and will get back to you after I tweak the values.

on pt. 3 you're right. I hadn't updated my example file.

This fixes it to the new distance before the headings \titlespacing*{\subsection}{0pt}{38pt}{0pt}

The catch is, the double-spacing is not exactly identical with Word. So, the LaTeX is more spaced out than their example. If you change the double-spacing we will need to update the pt distance before the headings.

@SClarkWT, if you get a chance, can you please try and figure out what value of \setstretch gives the same line spacing as Word double spacing?

dcpurton commented 8 years ago

never mind, it looks like \doublespacing is correct. For some reason, I had thought this was wrong.

dcpurton commented 8 years ago

Check the latest dev branch for improved spacing. How's that look?

Looks good from what I can tell. Thanks for your work.
