Remove italic from memoir headings pagestyle

Question

I am using the memoir class for my thesis and I'd like to stop the headings from being italic in the page headers. I am using the headings page style, I found out how to remove the uppercase heads but I can't find out how to get it not italic.

Any suggestion?

As of now (with the italic text), I am doing this:

\makeheadrule{headings}{\textwidth}{\normalrulethickness}
\addtopsmarks{headings}{
  \nouppercaseheads
}{
  \createmark{chapter}{both}{shownumber}{}{. \space}
  \createmark{section}{right}{shownumber}{}{. \space}
}
\setsecnumdepth{section}
\pagestyle{headings}

Answer 1

Add the following code to your preamble

\makeevenhead{headings}{\thepage}{}{\leftmark}
\makeoddhead{headings}{\rightmark}{}{\thepage}
