Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Header with box made by tikZ

[dlewin]

hi,

I finally found a header with nice graphic in it to make a tutorial (for PDF).
Unfortunatelly the tikZ example is in report class and I can't change the
header's names.

1/ What would be the beter class for a tutorial style ?
2/ in that style : how to change the header's names ?

The example is :

Fancy chapter headings

Hi,

What exactly do you mean by "header's names"?

[dlewin]

In this example, there are "Contents", "Main", etc

I could had changed Main and after, but not "Contents".

"Contents", "Chapter" and some other names are predefined. They are language-sensitive, via the babel package. So if in the preamble of your document you load babel with, for example, spanish option

Code: Select all

\usepackage[spanish]{babel}

then "Contents" becomes "Índice General", "Chapter" changes to "Capítulo", and so on.

If you want to change those predefined names you have two options:

1) If you are not loading babel, a simple redefinition of the corresponding command is enough:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\contentsname{New name}
\renewcommand\chaptername{New name}

etc.

2) If you are using babel with, for example, the spanish option then you will have to add something like this to the preamble:

Code: Select all

\addto\captionsspanish{%
  \renewcommand\contentsname{New name}
  \renewcommand\chaptername{New name}
}

A similar procedure should be applied if the option for babel is different from spanish, changing the \captionsspanish command for the appropriate idiomatic command.

ok I understand.
Thanks a lot.
