General ⇒ Document Title in Header

[EnWor]

Hello,

How can i insert the Author or Title into the Header?
In my solution I have to write the Name of the Author two times... how can i insert the \author name into the Header?

Greetings
EnWor

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{article}
\usepackage[automark,headsepline,plainheadsepline]{scrpage2}

\newcommand{\TheAuthor}{}
\newcommand{\Author}[1]{\renewcommand{\TheAuthor}{#1}}

\ihead{\TheAuthor}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}

\title{something}
\Author{Mustermann}
\author{Mustermann}

\begin{document}

\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}

\pagebreak

blabla

\end{document}

Hi EnWor,

you could use \markboth or \markright (some information about these commands can be found here), toghether with \@author (for the author) and \@title (for the title), as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[headsepline,plainheadsepline]{scrpage2}

\title{something}
\author{Mustermann}

\makeatletter
  \markboth{\@title}{\@author}
\makeatother

\pagestyle{scrheadings}

\begin{document}

\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}

\newpage

blabla

\newpage

blabla
\end{document}

I took the liberty to change the original document class from article to scrartcl (from the KOMA-Script bundle). This is only a suggestion.

Juhu, It works, thx ;)

But now i have another problem...

I used the \ihead command because in my document i put the section with:

Code: Select all

\automark[section]{section}
\ohead[\headmark]{\headmark}

... into the Header
With Markboth this doesn't work... :(

Any Solution?

Hi,

can you please describe exactly what information and in what positions should appear in your headers? That will save us time and effort.

[EnWor]

oke... sry

In my twoside document I wand in the inner header the documenttitle, in the outer Header the sectiontitle and in the outer footer the page Number...

I hope this is exact enough... if not ask me..

so long
thanks a lot
EnWor

Hi,

then you could use something like the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[headsepline,plainheadsepline]{scrpage2}
\usepackage{lipsum}%just to generate some text

\title{something}
\author{Mustermann}

\automark[section]{section}
\ihead{\@title}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}

\begin{document}

\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}

\section{First section}
\lipsum[1-30]

\section{Second section}
\lipsum[1-30]

\end{document}

Hi,

Code: Select all

\ihead{\@title}

this will not work like expected. This code should to it:

Code: Select all

\newcommand*\mytitle{something}
\title{\mytitle}
\ihead{\mytitle}

Hi Stefan,

Hi,

Code: Select all

\ihead{\@title}

this will not work like expected...

Did you compile the complete code I posted? It works OK (at least it does on my system). Maybe I misunderstand your comment, but what do you mean when you say that "it will not work as expected"?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi gmedina,

yes, I've compiled your code, instead of something the word title appeared in the output, arising from \@title.
