Chapter with Citations

Post by pointeddot »

Hey guys,

somehow I can not cite an author in my headline. Does anyone know a solution for that?

Code: Select all

\chapter{Algorithm by \citeauthor{...}}
Or maybe if it does not work with the \citeauthor command. How can I get the letters look like words being cited?

Thank you!

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Since you didn't provide a Infominimal working example I can't be sure but my guess is that \citeauthor may be a fragile command. Such commands always pose problems in headings. A common solution that may or may not work is preceding it with \protect.
