Page Layout ⇒ multiple headers

[Guillaume]

I'd like to change the headers in the back and front matter, how should I proceed?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,twoside]{book}
\input{preamble}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\include{title}
\include{abbreviations}
\include{prefaceandintro}
\mainmatter
\include{edition1}
\include{edition2}
\backmatter
\printindex[nominum]
\printindex[rerum]
\include{Biblio}
\end{document}

[Johannes_B]

Are you using a package like scrlayer-scrpage or fancyhdr that helps you in customizing the headers and footers? What are you trying to achieve?

[Guillaume]

fancyhdr

This is my "preamble" (which is a mess). What I get is "Table of Contents" on every single odd page

This question has be crossposted to TeX.SX.

Please make your code compilable (Creating a minimal working example), there shouldn't be any included files. I bet you have a \leftmark{Table of Contents} or \fancuhead[O]{\contentsname} somewhere, but it is very very hard to tell.

[Guillaume]

Apologies! This should help:

\sidenotemargin{outer}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
% your new footer definitions here
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{0} % sections are level 1


\begin{document}
\backmatter
\tableofcontents
\newpage

\begin{center}
\section{PREFACE}
\end{center}
blahblahblah

\pagebreak 


\begin{center}
\section{INTRODUCTION}
\end{center}

blahblah
\mainmatter
\begin{titlepage} 
\begin{center}
\section{Hello}
\end{center}
\end{titlepage}

\end{center}
\end{titlepage}


\end{document}

[Johannes_B]

There are several issues with your code.

Your document starts with \backmatter?

You are using package ledmac which is eprecated and should be substituted with package reledmac. If ou don't want to change, the error message gives you a clue.

You are not using \chapter, which is the essential structuring command in the book class. Only chapters will update the left header (default).

You are placing \section-commands in a center environment. If you want to change the appearance of section and others, you can use package titlesec.

You have pagebreaks and \newpage everywhere, indicating that you indeed want to have chapters.

You have several titlepages in the mainmatter. A titlepage is part of the frontmatter.

Two titlepages after another will cause the page numbering to collapse, as you already noticed in two title pages in the book without restarting the pagenumbering.

Why do you have a section-command on a title page?

[Guillaume]

Many thanks for your help. I've got two editions in the book which need to be preceded by title pages. I understand I cannot use titlepage for them, what should I do instead?

[Johannes_B]

This thread is a mix to two TeX.SX questions.

The titlepage environment isn't doing a lot. Checks for one/twocolumn, sets the pagestyle to empty and sets the pagenumber. Just don't use it and you will be fine (keep \thispagestyle{empty} though). On the other hand, KOMA-classes [don't] (!sic) have that thing which is a leftover of an almost 30 years old bug.

two title pages in the book without restarting the pagenumbering

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\newenvironment{guillaumeTitlepage}{\cleardoublepage\thispagestyle{empty}}{\newpage}
\begin{document}
\begin{guillaumeTitlepage}
	\Huge This is the first edition
\end{guillaumeTitlepage}
\blinddocument
\begin{guillaumeTitlepage}
	\Huge This is the second edition
\end{guillaumeTitlepage}
\blinddocument
\begin{guillaumeTitlepage}
	\Huge This is the third edition
\end{guillaumeTitlepage}

\end{document}

Please read more about the customization and design of titlepages: How to customize my titlepage?. You can read more about the numbering at How to use pagenumbering in the document?

Please don't mix so many different issues within just one forum thread. This will become a nightmare for any google user searching for a solution.


Why did you change to reledmac? I told you where you can find hints to suppress the error that is issued. On the other hand, switching to reledmac might be a good idea, but it will take you to make changes in your document.

Posting a preamble is useless, please always post minimal working examples.
