I am using sr-vorl
(a scrbook
-based class to typeset books for Springer; the package can be found here) for my dissertation at the moment.
Springer demands to have a running head where the chapter name occurs on all pages with even page numbers and the section name on pages with odd page numbers. In general, that works well out of the box.
However, I now have the case that I have much text between \chapter{}
and the first \section{}
. This results in the problem that an empty running head (i.e., empty \leftmark
) is set on certain pages (the odd ones). Please see below:
Only after the first \section{}
occurs I get the desired result:
This clearly is an expected result. However, I would like to have the chapter name occuring on the odd pages instead of nothing (i.e., in this case here: "1 First Chapter").
I already did some research but only found a few answers that did not help me (e.g., 1, 2 -> it might be that the answers there give the solution, but I could not figure out how to apply them for my problem).
Question:
How can I get the chapter name on the running head of an odd-numbered page when there is no section name that can be printed there?
(Please note: The problem also occurs with plain scrbook
.)
Here is a MWE:
\documentclass[englisch, format=a5-monografie]{sr-vorl}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
\mainmatter
\chapter{First Chapter}
\lipsum[4-20]
\section{First Section}
\end{document}
\markright{chapter name}
after the\chapter
line, and that would include the chapter name in the right-hand running head until overridden by a section. but i don't know whether this works with thescr*
classes, and can't test at the moment.)
