Chapter Heading too long for Header

Post by Amitavo Roy »

My chapter title is too large to accommodate in the deader at each page of my thesis. That's why the title at header was showing out of defined page width and it was cut. So, please suggest me if there is any suitable solution to accommodate large title also in the header lines.

Code: Select all

\chapter{Investigation of Dynamic ACI with uniform magnetic field and adiabatic approximation in the SELFT code}
I used this code line for the chapter declaration, but the text content in the curly bracket is not fit in the header line (A4 paper size) of each page. So I want some suggestion how to solve this.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

The \chapter command (as every sectioning command) offers an optional argument for the ToC and header entry.

Code: Select all

\chapter[Short entry for ToC and header]{Full chapter heading}
I recommend to do some reading for novices. This would save you the time of asking lots of basic question and waiting for answers. Furthermore a search in the forum archives for sure will yield existing solutions because this is a FAQ.
