When I try the titleformat commands with my sections, the name of the section doesn't appear.

titleformat{section}[wrap]

{normalfontbfseries}

{thesection.}{0.5em}{}

As result with this code, I get this

Could someone explain me why?

MWE:

documentclass[10pt,french]{report}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}

titleformat{section}[wrap]

{normalfontbfseries}

{thesection.}{0.5em}{}

%titlespacing{section}{-1.5cm}{0cm}{0cm}%1=command,2=leftmargin,3



usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

begin{document}

chapter{Chapitre} % (fold)

    label{cha:chapite}

    section{Section} % (fold)

    label{sec:section}

    section{Secondth section} % (fold)

    label{sec:secondth_section}



end{document}

The fact that your section titles are not being displayed is because you're passed the explicit option to the package titlesec:

usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}

In such cases, you have to explicitly use #1 within the definition of titleformat to place the title that is being used. Without that, the title is gobbled.

documentclass{report}



usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}

titleformat{section}[display]

  {normalfontbfseries}

  {thesection. #1}{0.5em}{}% <--- #1 denotes section title



begin{document}



chapter{A chapter}



section{First section}



section{Second section}



end{document}

Even though I've changed the section title format from wrap to display, that doesn't make a difference in terms of the use of #1 under explicit.
