Page Layout ⇒ different header for odd and even page of oneside report

[spiegboy]

Hi, I wonder if there is a way to set different headers for even and odd pages of report class with 'oneside' option. I know fancyhdr can do this but for 'twoside' options.

Many thanks.

The most obvious solution to me seems to check whether the »page« counter is odd or even and then create a suitable header. This can be done with structures provided by the ifthen package as shown in the code below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{fancyhdr,ifthen}
\usepackage{blindtext}

% Setup for headers and footers (fancyhdr)
\fancyhf{}
\lhead{\ifthenelse{\isodd{\value{page}}}{\rightmark}{\leftmark}}
\rhead{\thepage}
\pagestyle{fancy}

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

Compare the header content by just replacing the »fancy« page style with the »headings« style.
