[Tugindia] Line break between section number and section title

[Dr C. K. Raju]

Hi Ragu,

Thanks a lot!  I must admit to having nil knowledge of TeX or LaTeX 
programming, so please bear with me. I am using LaTeX and the meomoir.cls, 
where the indicated piece of code looks as follows:

\def\M at sect#1#2#3#4#5#6[#7][#8]#9{%
  \ifheadnameref\M at gettitle{#8}\else\M at gettitle{#7}\fi
  \ifnum #2>\c at secnumdepth
    \let\@svsec\@empty
  \else
    \refstepcounter{#1}%
    \protected at edef\@svsec{\@seccntformat{#1}\relax}%
  \fi
  \@tempskipa #5\relax
  \ifdim \@tempskipa>\z@
    \begingroup
      #6{%
      \@hangfrom{\hskip #3\relax\@svsec}%
        %\interlinepenalty \@M #9\@@par}%original line
        \interlinepenalty \@M \par #9\@@par}%changed line
    \endgroup
    \csname #1mark\endcsname{#8}%
    \addcontentsline{toc}{#1}{%
      \ifnum #2>\c at secnumdepth \else
        \protect\numberline{\csname the#1\endcsname}%
      \fi
      #7}%
  \else
    \def\@svsechd{%
      #6{\hskip #3\relax
     \@svsec #9}%
     \csname #1mark\endcsname{#8}%
     \addcontentsline{toc}{#1}{%
       \ifnum #2>\c at secnumdepth \else
        \protect\numberline{\csname the#1\endcsname}%
       \fi
       #7}}%
  \fi
  \@xsect{#5}}

If I have understood you correctly, then I should have changed the line 
somewhat as indicated above. However, any such change causes the section 
number to disappear altogether!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks again, in advance,

CKR
