Page Layout ⇒ fancyhdr | Spaces in running Title

[Ailicec]

Hello,

I am using fancyhdr and am trying to input a space between the different marks.

So I have

Code: Select all

\fancyhead[L]{\textit \chaptername \textit\thechapter: \textit \leftmark}

Which is giving me: Chapter1: Introduction

And I need Chapter 1: Introduction (i.e. a space between Chapter and the chapter number).

Thank you

You have to add a backslash (or a pair of curly braces) behind the \chaptername command.

Code: Select all

\fancyhead[L]{\itshape \chaptername\ \thechapter: \leftmark}

Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you. I knew it must be a simple thing but I could not find it

A space directly after a control sequence (command, macro) marks the end and doesn't work as white space. Besides \ , it would also work if you would write \chaptername{}, inserting an "atom" {}.
