Page Layout ⇒ Creating header before creating the page

[Fusel2000]

Hello,

I hope you'll understand my problem.

I have got a document with more than one sections on each page. Everytime when I start a new section I set an variable called \dvd on a certain word. In the header I want to have the value of \dvd at the start of the page.

My sourcecode looks like this:

Code: Select all

...
\newcommand{\dvd}{some stuff}
\usepackage{fancyheadings}
\fancyhf{}
\lhead{\dvd}
\rhead{\thepage}

\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents
  \newpage
  \renewcommand{\dvd}{some other stuff}
  \section{...}
...
  \renewcommand{\dvd}{some other stuff}
  \section{...}
...
  \renewcommand{\dvd}{some other stuff}
  \section{...}
...
\end{document}

My problem is, that in the header the value of \dvd at the end of the page occurs. But I want the value from the start of the page or the last value from the former page.

Can you help me? Sorry if my English is not perfect...

Hi,

maybe the mechanism provided by the mark-related commands of the titlesec package could be useful for you. Please refer to Section 5.4 "Marks" of the package documentation for further details.
