LaTeX itself (but of course there are packages for customizing the
look of sectioning environments and table of contents).
What you call section is called part in LaTeX (and publishing houses).
See the lshort.pdf in
http://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/
especially section 2.7 Titles, Chapters, and Sections (pp.35 and ff.).
