Page Layout ⇒ fancyhdr | Customized Header for ToC Pages

[Tompoesje]

Hello,

When using the fancydr package to create a header (on the left the chaptertitle and the page number on the right) I have to use '\thispagestyle{fancy}' on a page where a new chapter starts cause otherwise the pagestyle is automatically 'plain'. So thats not a problem.

Now I'm trying to do the same for my table of contents, but i'm encountering a problem. If my table of contents is only 1 page long it works just fine, but when its 2 or 3 pages the '\thispagestyle{fancy}' command doesn't seem to have an effect on the first page of the ToC.

I've tried to look in the fancyhdr package documentation but found nothing of help.

I've added a working example.

Hi Tompoesje,

welcome to the board!
Try

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{fancy}}

instead or have a look at Modifying plain page style.

The solution in your link works like a charm, thank you very much!

Hi,

I have a similar problem with fancyhdr and Table of Contents. I have defined my headers and footers (see attached file), but the headers in the Contents, List of Tables, and List of Figures pages still don't change. The first page is fine, but in the following pages I want the header to be lower-case letters, not capitalised.

cheers,
Karianne

Hi,

use the \nouppercase command in the appropritae locations:

Code: Select all

\fancyhead[LE]{\nouppercase\leftmark}
\fancyhead[RO]{\nouppercase\rightmark}

Awsome!! Thank you!

I just found out that this also works (after fighting LaTeX all day):

Code: Select all

\tableofcontents{\fancyhead[LE]{\slshape\contentsname}}
\listoffigures{\fancyhead[LE]{\slshape\listfigurename}}
\listoftables{\fancyhead[LE]{\slshape\listtablename}}

And then including the fancyhead code for the rest of the document below.

Cheers, Karianne

Thanks Stefan, that just saved me a bunch of hassle to get the proper page style on my toc, lof, and lot.
