Page Layout ⇒ Help for headers

[NELLLY]

Hi
I need to get chapter headers for my report. I made some research with google and I liked the following format heading (http://www.apprendre-latex.images-en-fr ... e-page.php)

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{#1}{}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection\ #1}}
\fancyhf{} \fancyhead[LE,RO]{\bfseries\thepage}
\fancyhead[LO]{\bfseries\rightmark}
\fancyhead[RE]{\bfseries\leftmark}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.5pt}
\addtolength{\headheight}{0.5pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{ \fancyhead{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}} 
\begin{document}
\title{...} \hyphenpenalty 10000
\listoftables \listoffigures
\include{chap1}

But, when I typset the file, I obtain the word CONTENT in all chapter's headers and the line below the header footnote does not appear too where is the problem

Hi,

unless you provide a minimal working example showing the undesired bahaviour mentioned, there's no effective way to detect the problem.

The following simple example works OK in my system (I attach the resulting pdf):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to generate some text

\pagestyle{fancy}

\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{#1}{}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection\ #1}}

\fancyhf{} 
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\bfseries\thepage}
\fancyhead[LO]{\bfseries\rightmark}
\fancyhead[RE]{\bfseries\leftmark}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.5pt}
\addtolength{\headheight}{0.5pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
  \fancyhead{}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}} 

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test chapter}
\lipsum[1]
\section{Test section one one}
\lipsum[1-20]
\section{Test section one two}
\lipsum[1-20]

\end{document}

Hi gmedina
thanks for the solution. I tried the commands for a document of style
\chapter{}
Text
\section{}Text
appearing in the main document and it works well. However, for my report document I still face the same problem. I don't know why but think this is because I use \include{chapter}. These are full commands I used in the main file.

Code: Select all

\documentclass [12pt]{report}

Hi,

the \pagestyle{myheadings} command placed right after \tableofcontents changes the headings back to the myheadings style, so the definitions that you made using fancyhdr will have no effect. Delete the \pagestyle{myheadings} command.

This works well now.
Many thanks.
