Text Formatting ⇒ Chapters without numbers have different header format

[trout_dipladokis]

Hi,

I'm wanting to add an unnumbered chapter, but the command \chapter*{} removes all the formatting I have for the chapter title. Any help would be very much appreciated.

The formatting I have for chapter headings is given below:


\newlength{\chaprule}
\setlength{\chaprule}{0.2mm} % Value controls thickness of rule above
% and below chapter heading
\newlength{\ATchapskip}
\setlength{\ATchapskip}{10\p@} % Value controls spacing of chapter title
% from top of page

\renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1]{% Takes one argument: chapter title
\vspace*{\ATchapskip}
\vskip 10\p@
\noindent\rule{\textwidth}{\chaprule}
\begin{flushright} % Right justify the text
\large\scshape{ \@chapapp\space \thechapter}\par
% Write the chpater title in larger text
\LARGE\scshape{ #1 }\par
\end{flushright}
\vskip 10\p@
\noindent\rule{\textwidth}{\chaprule}
\vskip 40\p@
\thispagestyle{plain} % Remove headers at start of chapter

Build a minimal working example (MWE) with your modifications to give us an idea of your intentions.

It's fine. I worked out where I went wrong. I didn't realize that modifying the macro "\@makechapterhead' only changed the format of numbered chapters, and that for unnumbered chapters you have to modify "\@makeschapterhead".

Nevertheless this seems to be done easier with the titlesec package.
