Page Layout ⇒ Shortened Chapter Title in Header

[Bishan]

I would like to just have "Chapter 1" in my header because the actual name "Chapter 1: Mathematical model of ... etc" is too long and it goes onto the next line of the header. Is this possible?

I use the package called fancyhdr.

Many many thanks if you can help me out.

What about using a short form for the header entry by the optional argument of sectioning commands like \chapter?

Code: Select all

\chapter[Short title for ToC entry or header]{Long title for the chapter heading as such}

If that is not what you want please prepare a self-contained and minimal example to give an adequate problem description and show your current document setup regarding the header.


Remarks:

• Other classes like those from the KOMA-Script bundle have more built-in flexibility in this regard.
• An alternative package with an easier interface for the setup of headers (and footers) is titleps.

Best regards and welcome to the board
