LaTeX forum ⇒ Page Layout ⇒ Facyhdr: Remove dot after section number Topic is solved

[Gyatso]

I'm almost done with the fine tuning of my document, but there remains one unsolved mystery to me. I can break it down to this MWE

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
 
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[R]{\nouppercase {\rightmark}}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
\setlength{\headheight}{14.5pt}
 
\usepackage{blindtext}
 
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{fancy}
 
\chapter{Some Chapter}
\section{Some Section}
\blindtext
\blindtext
\blindtext
\blindtext
\blindtext
\end{document}

As you can see, in the header it gives "1.1. Some Section" where it should be "1.1 Some Section" (Note the missing dot ofter the second 1!)

Any idea on how to remove it? I don't understand how it ends up there anyway, as it does not appear in the text itself...

Thanks for your help!

Redefine \sectionmark without ending dot

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
 
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[R]{\rightmark}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
\setlength{\headheight}{14.5pt}
\renewcommand\sectionmark[1]{%
   \markright{\thesection\ #1}}
 
\usepackage{blindtext}
 
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{fancy}
 
\blinddocument
\blinddocument
\end{document}

Best regards

That's perfect! Thank you! I had found something like that for \chaptermark but was never quite able to adapt it for the section.
