Customizing Chapter

[Teddy Surya Gunawan]

Hi,

I want to change the appearance of Chapter. I am using report class to
write my thesis. So, how can I customize lyx/latex from :

Chapter 1
Introduction

to :

  Chapter 1
Introduction
--

(centered and got line below, the line should be the same length with the 
header line)

Do I have to make something like \renewcommand{chapter} ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA,

teddy

Put the following in the preamble:

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\Large\filcenter\sffamily}
  {\LARGE\chaptertitlename \thechapter}
  {1ex}
  {\Huge}
  [\vspace{0.5ex}\titlerule]

You can also look in the titlesec documantion for more (prettier) examples.

Thanks all for the answers. It's work now.

btw, \chaptertitlename doesn't work for me, I have to change it to
\chaptername

Cheers,
