General ⇒ book | Redefine Chapter Name

[laailalalaa]

Hello,

I received a very intricate latex template and don't know how to address the following (probably minor) issue.

The main document uses the book document class. For every chapter, on the "header" of each even page appears a line of text indicating the number of the page, the unchanging word "Chapter" and the title of the current Chapter.

How can I change the word "Chapter" to "Chocolate" for instance? I searched through all the .tex files I got, can't find where "Chapter" is set.

Thanks.

Hi,

you could redefine \chaptername. For example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\renewcommand*{\chaptername}{Chocolate}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Hazelnut}
\end{document}

This did the trick.

Thanks
