Help on typesetting a header

Post by Faust »

I am curious how to achieve the vertical textblock for chapters. I took this from a pdf generated by latex. Textblock for every new chapter is lower (precisely the hight of the block lower). Is right on odd pages and left on even pages.

Any easy way to do this or must it be done by hand?

thanks!

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Take a look at the thumb and thumby packages. There's also a similar example discussed in the fancyhdr package documentation, page 20ff.
