Page Layout ⇒ Alter Chapter Mark

[statistician]

Hi,

I want to change the displayed chapterstyle in my header. To be specific, now it displays e.g. "1. INTRODUCTION" and I want to increase the space between "1." and "INTRODUCTION" so I know I have to change the \chaptermark right? But how can I do this? My header is defined in the following:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\chaptername}{}
\fancyhead[L]{\hspace{4mm}\textcolor{headercolor}{\leftmark}\\ \text{ }\textcolor{headercolor}{\hspace{0.4cm}\rightmark}\hfill\textcolor{headercolor}{}\hspace{2mm}}
\renewcommand{\headrule}{\vspace{-\headheight}\textcolor{headercolor}{\vrule height \headheight width 2pt\relax\rule{\textwidth}{2pt}\vrule height \headheight width 2pt\relax}}

Thanks a lot for your help.

Please prepare a self-contained and minimal example to give an adequate problem description and prevent others from guesswork.

Reading the fancyhdr manual would be a good starting point.

It would be appreciated if you give feedback on proposed solutions to your other question.
