Page Layout ⇒ article | Remove running Header at Start of new Section

[swoppa]

I'm looking for a way to remove running headings at the page where a new section starts.
(I found out this would probably be easier in the book class... but I rather stick with the article class.)

Some of the code I use:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{article}

\usepackage{fancyhdr,lastpage,extramarks}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\newcommand\sectionbreak{\clearpage}

\begin{document}

\pagestyle{fancy}

\fancyfoot{}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LO,LE]{\nouppercase\firstleftmark}
\fancyhead[RO,RE]{\emph{Page \thepage}}

\blinddocument

\end{document}

You're defining a macro called \sectionbreak, and I think if you just add in a \thispagestyle command there, you can get the effect you want. It looks like all the pages (including after \sectionbreak) are going to be "fancy". So if you define a new page style with whatever features you like for that page where a new section starts and call it something like "pssectionbreak", you can define the \sectionbreak command as:

Code: Select all

\newcommand\sectionbreak{\clearpage\thispagestyle{pssectionbreak} }

I think if you look at the fancyhdr documentation, it describes how to define a new page style.
