Headings for Introduction, Conclusion and Bibliography

Post by aktar »

Hi,

I define my bibliography with the {thebibliography} environment. In the heading of the bibliography "chapter" I have the name and the number of the last chapter. I would like "Bibliography" only in the two side (I set the twoside option).

In the same way, in the introduction define as \chapter{Introduction}, I have "chapter one. Introduction" in the heading. I would like only "Introduction" without "Chapter" and the number.

The page style is headings but I think that fancy is better suited for this. Can i use the style fancy for these chapters and keep \pagestyle{headings} for chapter 1, 2, 3, 4?

This is my code.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside,openright]{report}
\input{preamble}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}

\tableofcontents
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Table of Contents}
\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listfigurename}
\listoffigures
\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listtablename}
\listoftables
\clearpage

\pagenumbering{arabic}

\include{Intro} \pagebreak
\include{Chapitre1_policy} \pagebreak
\include{Chapitre2_BC} \pagebreak
\include{Chapitre3_RER} \pagebreak
\include{Chapitre4_volatility} \pagebreak

\input{biblio}

\end{document}
And the code in the "biblio.tex".

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{300}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
\end{thebibliography}{300}

Hi Aktar,

I'm not sure I understand your "twoside" question. Should you need the bibliography to start on an even page, use \cleardoublepage after the last line of your chapter 4.

To produce a non-numbered chapter, use \chapter*{Introduction}. This will also suppress the table of contents entry, but you can always add it manually.
Btw., loading the tocbibind package will add the three content lists and the bibliography to TOC. You might want to consider that option rather than doing it manually.

You can switch page styles within the document. However, to assure a smooth transition you need \clearpage or \cleardoublepage.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage{blindtext, tocbibind, fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{headings}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\clearpage
\chapter*{Introduction}
\markright{\uppercase{Introduction}}
\section*{Background}
\Blindtext
\chapter{Results}
\Blindtext
\cleardoublepage
\begin{thebibliography}{300}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\Blindtext
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
