Document Classes ⇒ Different header for odd and even pages

[paulosousa]

Hello all,

I need the header with:

• even pages at left and chapter name at right
  odd pages at right and section name at left

no capital letters
empty footer

What I am doing wrong?

other question why

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, twoside, a4paper]{book}

enumerate sections like 0.1, 0.2, ...?

example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, twoside, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\small\thepage}
\fancyhead[LO]{\small \emph{\leftmark}} 
\fancyhead[RE]{\small \emph{\rightmark}} 
\fancyfoot[L,R,C]{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{1pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

\begin{document}
   \onehalfspacing
   \linespread{1.5}
\begin{titlepage}
...
\end{titlepage}

\pagenumbering{Roman}

\section*{Abstract}
...
\newpage

\tableofcontents
\newpage

\pagenumbering{arabic}

\section{Introduction} 

\chapter{write the name}

\section{State of Art}

\subsection{Modelos ARFIMA ($p,d,q$)}

\section{Conclusions}

\section{References}

\end{document}

You can use the command \nouppercase to avoid having the headers all in Capitals.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, twoside, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\small\thepage}

\fancyhead[RE]{\small \emph{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
\fancyfoot[L,R,C]{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{1pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

To your second question. You were talking about chapters and sections, but you are using sections and subsections. Simple reason for that. Article does not provide chapters. Classes like book and report do and number them accordingly.
Having a section without a chapter, you get chapter 0 section 1

If you have the freedom to choose, i advice you to have a look at KOMA-script. This is a whole bunch of useful alternatives and add ons to the standard classes and everything works very smooth together.

[paulosousa]

For now it's perfect, thanks a lot for the help and explanations.

[paulosousa]

I am using

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, twoside, a4paper]{book}

and I have, in the document,

Code: Select all

\section{References}

it opens a page with (only) References and other page (the next) with The Bibliography and not References, is it normal in the Book class?

[Johannes_B]

Above, you gave us compilable code. This makes it easy to help, because testing is easy. There is no guessing involved, since you do all the pre-work. Please read, how to prepare a minimum working example and come back to us.

Normally, the class or a package takes care of putting an appropriate heading.

[paulosousa]

Here it is:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\small\thepage}
\fancyhead[LO]{\small \emph{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}}
\fancyhead[RE]{\small \emph{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
\fancyfoot[L,R,C]{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{1pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

I really recommend to use the modern package biblatex to take care of the bibliography. Customizing it is much much easier, if you later decide to change something.
You can use Jabref (for instance) to manage your entries.

[paulosousa]

well it solves the problem in the minimal example but not in whole document!

[Johannes_B]

Well, then the best way to find the cause is to prepare a minimal example by hacking down. See the link above.

[paulosousa]

hope now you can help me...
