Page Layout ⇒ memoir | Wrong Chapter Name in Header

[heniczyna]

Hi all,

I am using memoir class for my document. In attachment you can find MWE.
Please see page 3.: there is header with "CONTENTS" but should be "INTRODUCTION"... For comparison see page 5.: everything is OK, header is "CHAPTER 1. FIRST CHAPTER" (heading is the same as name of chapter)

I am sure that code below is responsible for this situation:

Code: Select all

\chapter*{INTRODUCTION}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{INTRODUCTION}

But Polish habit says that Introduction chapter should not be numbered in ToC.

So is there any solution for this problem? Heading in Introduction chapter should be INTRODUCTION. I hope I am clear with that.

Hi,

you could use \markboth or \markright, right after \chapter*, such as

Code: Select all

\markboth{INTRODUCTION}{INTRODUCTION}

Is it required to use headings completely in capital letters? I think that's too heavy: all caps + big + bold + serifs. I usually prefer normal caps, big, bold, sans serif. I would only use all caps when I use an old typewriter without any other kind of possible emphasis.

thanks, works fine.

Is it required to use headings completely in capital letters?

It is not required. my MWE that I attached above has standard page layout from memoir class. I personalized it and looks like in attachment. This is bibliography chapter. Normal chapters have headers looks the same but they are:

Code: Select all

Chapter 1. Chapter name (in Polish will be Rozdział 1. instead of Chapter 1.  ;) )
Chapter 2. Chapter name
Chapter 3. Chapter name
etc

I did not notice that before but I have similar problem with nomenclature (is this equal to list of abbreviations?)
Please see attached file and page 15.: there is header "CHAPTER 2. SECOND CHAPTER" but should be "Nomenclature". How can I change it?

I am making my nomenclature by adding to my latex code:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{nomencl} %list of abbreviations
\makenomenclature

before

Code: Select all

\begin{document}

each entry is:

Code: Select all

\nomenclature{XYZ}{definition of XYZ}

and at the end there is

Code: Select all

\printnomenclature[2.5cm]

I do not know if this is the simplest way to make this list, but works good.

quick guide of compilation proces:
1. latex compilation
2. make nomenclature list
3. latex compilation

Step 2. makeindex is script called out from my latex editor directly, this script is:

Code: Select all

@rem You can put here any commands you want - this batch file can be executed from LEd's toolbar
@rem There are 3 parameters passed  to this batch:
@rem     %1 - <MAINFILEDIR>
@rem     %2 - <MAINFILENAME>
@rem     %3 - <MAINFILEDISK>
@rem You can also define in tex_cmd.gd file some additional parameters to be passed to this batch file.
@echo off

@poniżej skrypt MakeIndex do wykazu skrótów
%3
cd %1
makeindex %2.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o %2.nls

I hope everything is clear.
Summarizing my problems:
1. wrong header in Nomenclature section
2. how can I add Nomenclature to my List of Contents?

[heniczyna]

second problem is solved : change

Code: Select all

\usepackage{nomencl} %list of abbreviations
\makenomenclature

into

Code: Select all

\usepackage[intoc]{nomencl} %list of abbreviations
\makenomenclature

and if you want to change the title "Nomenclature" to sth else you have to add after

Code: Select all

\makenomenclature

this fragment

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\nomname}{Something you want instead of Nomenclature}

Reviewed file attached (and I changed place of "Nomenclature" from end of file to start of file).
But first problem is still unsolved
1. wrong header in Nomenclature section

[heniczyna]

any news with this problem?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Also for the nomenclature you can use \markboth. In this case even in the document preamble, redefining \nompreamble, such as

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\nompreamble}{\markboth{Nomenclature}{Nomenclature}}

as I mentioned in this topic: Header problem with Nomenclature.

many thanks Stefan! Works!
What is more: I carefully read http://www.ctex.org/documents/packages/ ... omencl.pdf (page 7. at the end) and found shorter, I think , solution. I just added

Code: Select all

\markboth{\nomname}{\nomname}

before

Code: Select all

\printnomenclature[2.5cm]

and works fine, too.

thank you Stefan one more time for showing me right direction
