Page Layout ⇒ How to cut off the line in the header, under the number pag

[ffarr]

First of all, thank you for the great support you're giving me. This community rocks.

I need to cut off the line in the header, under the page number and the title of the chapter. So, what I want to see is just like this:

[Page number] [Chapter title]

And not:

[Page number] [Chapter title]

Is it possible?

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside,italian]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[%
      papersize={120mm,195mm},
      left=18mm,
      right=18mm,
      bottom=20mm,
      top=25mm,
      headheight=14pt,
      includehead,
      nofoot,
    ]{geometry}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[raggedright,pagestyles]{titlesec}% Add “clearempty” option if you need to get rid of headers/footers on empty pages
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{color}

\titleformat{\chapter}{\normalfont\large\bfseries}{}{0pt}{\Large}[\thispagestyle{plain}]
%%% Page styles

\makeatletter

\newpagestyle{toc}{% Create a page style for TOC
   \let\ps@plain\ps@empty% Redefine plain style which is automatically applied to the first page of TOC; put “empty”, or “main”, or any other page style you like
   \sethead[][][]{}{}{}
}

\newpagestyle{chapter}{% Create a page style for the first page of a chapter
   \setfoot[][\thepage][]{}{\thepage}{}
}

\newpagestyle{main}{%
   \let\ps@plain\ps@chapter% Activate page style for the first page of a chapter
   \sethead[\thepage][][\chaptertitle]{\chaptertitle}{}{\thepage}
   \headrule
}

\makeatother

\begin{document}

Many thanks!

Hi,

you could use the fancyhdr package. It offers some ways for customizing headers and footers, also regarding the line below the header.

For example:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}% that's removing the footer line
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}% that's removing the header line

Now I see your page style definition:

Code: Select all

\newpagestyle{main}{%
   \let\ps@plain\ps@chapter% Activate page style for the first page of a chapter
   \sethead[\thepage][][\chaptertitle]{\chaptertitle}{}{\thepage}
   \headrule
}

Perhaps simply remove that \headrule command.

Perhaps simply remove that \headrule command.

Great! That was the solution.

Now they tell me that the chaptertitle in the header needs to be in a different font, or at least smaller than the text of the book...

Is it possible?

[…] Now they tell me that the chaptertitle in the header needs to be in a different font, or at least smaller than the text of the book. […]

The titlesec manual suggest something like this.

Code: Select all

\newpagestyle{main}[\small]{%
  \sethead[\thepage][][\chaptertitle]{\chaptertitle}{}{\thepage}
}
\assignpagestyle{chapter}{empty}

The optional argument can take every font related command.
