Sorry for that, it's my fault.

Thanks again for your suggestions!

Although this article is quite good, it is five years old and needs an update especially regarding useful packages. [...]
Did you refer to some packages in particular? In my old thesis' preamble I load many packages, the most important ones (for me) are reported below:

Hi Thorsten,

following fncychap documentation, I made some minor changes to your code to better mimic (I hope) the original "Conny" style:

\titleformat{name=\chapter}[display]
{\normalfont\Huge\filcenter\rm}
{\titlerule[4pt]\vspace{2pt}\titlerule[2pt]\vspace{1pc}\Huge\bfseries\MakeUppercase ...

I'd suggest something like this. The page styles front and back make sure that unnumbered chapters (ToC, LoF, LoT) get the correct header in case they have more than one page.

I tested your code: once again it works great and I understand that titlesec and titletoc are two very powerful packages ...

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[RO]{\nouppercase{\emph{\rightmark}}}
\fancyhead[LE]{\nouppercase{\emph{\leftmark}}}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt ...

I tried to copy and paste your code in my old (master thesis) preamble, that loads many other packages and everything works great! Your code really emulates the Conny chapter style!

Now I have just to customize your code to use titlesec instead of fancyhdr also for headers and footers.

It's a ...

Hi Thorsten and thank you for your reply.

I confirm that the error is generated also with TeX Live 2009 on an Ubuntu system. Probably you are right: this sound as an incompatibility between the two packages. However the error is generated only with some fncychap stiles and this sounds strange ...

Hi all,

I'm working on my PhD thesis and I have a problem with minitoc and fncychap ("Conny" style) packages. Following a minimum example that gene.ate the error:


\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[Conny]{fncychap}
\usepackage{minitoc}

\begin{document}

\dominitoc
