Re: FancyHDR Package - Define Custom Styles?

Just to echo west.logan's thanks... that's what I was aiming for & will have a look at titlesec too. Thanks!

Re: FancyHDR Package - Define Custom Styles?

Ok, got it sorted based on your suggestion of redefining styles after the introductionary sections (so thanks west.logan!).

I ended up redefining plain, rather than using fancyplain, as Latex defaults all the first pages of chapters to this style anyway.

I suspect this method is frowned upon ...

Re: FancyHDR Package - Define Custom Styles?

Ok, I think I see what you've done. Will give it a try and let you know. As an aside, is it possible to define multiple new styles or can you only use prenamed styles - such as plain, empty, fancyplain etc.?

How to add custom numbering - e.g. COVER, or Page #

Thanks for both your suggestions. My problem was, as meho_r suggested, solved rather nicely by this line.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\thepage}{Cover}

How to add custom numbering - e.g. COVER, or Page #

Hi,

I'm finalising a report and have managed to nicely number the main report in arabic and the abstract & contents in roman form. However, I'd like the front cover to simply display "COVER" in the page number field when viewed as a PDF.

I've seen this done for eBooks and other documents but ...

FancyHDR Package - Define Custom Styles?

Hi,

I'm relatively new to Latex and am getting a little confused with the fancyhdr documentation. I'm writing a report and want to have a standard header/footer for all pages, apart from those before the main report (i.e. title, abstract and contents).

By default, Latex seems to define the first ...

"Improper \spacefactor" error after updating hyperref packag

I can confirm this problem in MiKTeX with the most recent version 6.81k of hyperref. Either send a report to the package maintainers or wait for the next update.
Thanks, is it possible to download the old working version? Or is that likely to cause problems with other packages?

Nope, reinstalled using the UK Oxford mirror and encountered the same problem. Does anyone have any other ideas please?

Thanks!

I've searched for updates and none were found.

I'll try downloading hyperref now and reinstalling...
