Long chapter titles - how?

Post by bindigit1 »

I am using the Book document class and some of my Chapters have a really long title, e.g.
Design & Implementation <ragged line break here>
Phase One: Building the architecture

If I select a headings style, to show something more than the page number on the header, of course it end up out of the page margins.
I was wondering, is there some way to redefine what will appear as the heading (for example, to make it show only the "Phase One: ..." part)?

Hi,

you can use the optional argument for the sectional commands; i.e., you can use something like

Code: Select all

\chapter[Phase One: Building the architecture]{Design & Implementation. Phase One: Building the architecture}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
