Text Formatting ⇒ Chapter Headings protrude into Margin

[mayankmi]

I'm using the "Bjornstrup" style from the fncychap package for fancy chapter headings. Everything is OK so far. It's just the chapter number goes out of margins. The attachment shows what I mean. I tried few things but they don't work. I want the chapter number inside margin (see attachment).

Thanks

Would you be so kind to provide your code (for your exaample above) in form of a Minimal Working Example using the code button? Right now we all could just guess.

The code for the "Bjornstrup" style (as for any other provided style) can be found in the sources of the package (*.sty). The macro \DOCH is responsible for the main formatting of the chapter heading. Copying its definition and commenting the relevant line yields the desired result.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage[Bjornstrup]{fncychap}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\renewcommand{\DOCH}{%
  \settowidth{\py}{\CNoV\thechapter}
%  \addtolength{\py}{-10pt}      % Amount of space by which the
%                                % number is shifted right
  \fboxsep=0pt%
  \colorbox[gray]{.85}{\rule{0pt}{40pt}\parbox[b]{\textwidth}{\hfill}}%
  \kern-\py\raise20pt%
  \hbox{\color[gray]{.5}\CNoV\thechapter}\\%
}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument
\end{document}
