Thank you so much localghost! I used the package and it is perfect: everything looks much neater now. If anyone is interested in this solution, the following page gives precise tips as to how to use the url package: http://www.kronto.org/thesis/tips/url-formatting.html.

Nevermind, I feel really stupid but I just found a hack 5 minutes after posting. I inserted a line break in the URL within the bibtex file: that did the trick. I should have thought about it earlier.

In any case, if anyone has a less barbaric solution, do let me know please.

I'm not sure if this will do exactly what you want, but you could give it a try.

Import the quotchap package before the start of your document, as so: \usepackage[grey, helvetica]{quotchap} You can change of course those parameters in between the square brackets later if this type of solution suits ...

Hi all,

Hi all,

I'm using the fancyhdr package to get headers on each page of my document. I've put the following command at the start of the document...

\pagestyle{fancy}

... and it works fine. But the trouble is that I have a section title in my first chapter that is too long so it gets written over ...

Thanks for the welcome localghost.

Hi all,

Ok, I was able to fix the problem, after getting some sleep. My hack consists of dropping Stevens' PhD styling package and putting my own styling inside my thesis. If anyone else faces a similar problem in the future, here is the code I wrote:


\documentclass[12pt]{report} % report class ...

Hi all,

I'm writing my thesis and using J. Steven's styling package called phdthesis.sty . There is also a page describing a bit this package on his website here .

The trouble is that he uses a twoside printing, whereas in my university I must use a oneside printing. So I modified the default ...
