Could someone please give me a hand to correctly use \markboth{}{}
within redefinition of the \sectionmark
? I am struggling to apply the second parameter in \markboth
. The article I am writing needs to have both section and subsection titles on all pages. I read Header not displaying correctly on chapter page due to subsection and understood that \chapter
or \section
commands make the \markright
field empty and therefore subsection does not appear on pages where \chapter
or \section
is issued. I still cannot understand how to make this work. I will be grateful for any help.
PS. Below is the LaTeX code. I am compiling the article using XeLaTeX.
