Page Layout ⇒ Questions about fancyhdr

[foofighter]

Hello there

I'm studying physics and have to do some experiments next month. Since I'm pretty new to Latex I thought it would be a good idea to finish the layout before it will become stressful.

The problem I am facing at the moment is that I want to see the Section name or a short version of it on the left of the headline. Most things I've found about it was a bit confusing to me so here I am

My current document looks like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,fontsize=11pt]{scrartcl}  
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}					%Enable umlaut input
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}					%Enable umlaut output
\usepackage{amsmath}						%Enable
\usepackage{graphicx}						%Enable pictures

\usepackage{fancyhdr}						%Enable Fancy pagestyle
\pagestyle{fancy} 						%Use Fancy pagestyle

  \fancyhf{} 							%Clear head-/footline
  \fancyhead[L]{} 						%Header left
  \fancyhead[C]{} 						%Header center
  \fancyhead[R]{\thepage} 					%Header right
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt} 				%Seperate headline



\date{\today}
\title{Versuchsprotokoll}
\author{}	%Authors

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\thispagestyle{empty}

\newpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}						%Reset Page numbering
\section{Versuchsziel}

[...]

\end{document}

Another problem I am having (that doesn't really belong here) is that I get a warning when I convert it.

Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for
(babel) the language `ngerman'
(babel) I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead.

This just occurs when I convert on Linux (Kubuntu, Kile, TexLive) not on Windows (Win7, Texmaker, MikTex)

I'm thankfull for ANY comments on that document.

Greetings Raoul

Hi Raoul,

welcome to the board!

The problem I am facing at the moment is that I want to see the Section name or a short version of it on the left of the headline.

Just add \leftmark in this one of youf fanyhdr commands:

Code: Select all

\fancyhead[L]{\leftmark}

Though, I would use scrpage2 instead of fancyhdr. scrpage2 is described in the KOMA-Script manual.

As Stefan already mentioned, the »scrpage2« package is the better choice.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[%
  fontsize=11pt,
  paper=a4,
  headinclude=on
]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[automark,headsepline]{scrpage2}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\automark{section}
\clearscrheadings
\ihead{\headmark}
\ohead{\pagemark}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument
\end{document}

Regarding your second problem I have only an assumption because Ubuntu is not my Linux system². As far as I know there is a package »texlive-lang-german«. Install it with the package manager (Apt?) and afterwards update the formats on the command line (as »root«).

Code: Select all

fmtutil-sys --all

Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks allot for your help. I will have a look in scrpage2 soon but at the moment everything looks like I want it, even the warning disappeared.
