Headers for specific pages of the document and footers the same for all pages

Question

I am currently trying to set up a document for a project report. I am having difficulties with the headers and footers.

I would like to have the footer on every page and the footer should look like the picture shown below.

To achieve this footer, I am currently using the fancyhdr package with the fancy pagestyle as shown in the code snippet below.

\pagestyle{fancy}
%%  FOOTER
\fancyfoot[C]{\small \thepage} % PAGE NUMBER
\fancyfoot[L]{\small ENEL895 \\ Version 1.0} % PAPER CODE AND VERSION
\fancyfoot[R]{\small \today} % TODAY'S DATE
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{1pt} % FOOTER RULE LINE

The problem I am encountering for the footer is for the TOC (I have put \thispagestyle{fancy} next to the TOC and all chapters to try and get the headers and footers). The TOC is spread across 2 pages, the first page only has the page number for the footer, whereas the second page has the correct header and footer.

The TOC header and footer for both pages should look like the picture shown below.

The header is where it gets complicated. For the header, I require all the front matter (everything before Chapter 1) to have the section title on the right side of the header and the lettercase should be exactly the same as the title case (i.e. not capitalised and not italicised). The TOC Header (shown above) is an example of what I mean. As for the chapters, I would like the first chapter page to have no header and only the footer specified above. For the remaining pages of the chapter, I would like the chapter on the left (Format: Chapter # - Chapter Name) and the section on the right (Format: # Section Name) of the header.

The header and footer for the first page of the chapter should look like the image shown below.

The header and footer for the remaining pages of the chapter should look like the picture shown below (Ignore the fact that I have shown the first page of the chapter).

Another difficulty I have encountered with the header is that the appendix header has Chapter A instead of Appendix A. I would like this to be on the left hand side of the header and the first page of the appendix should have no header (just like the chapters).

Appendix Header Difficulty:

Here is a MWE of my document so far (sorry it has a lot of comments and the output is not the same as the images shown in this thread).

Sorry this thread is so long, I just thought I should try and thoroughly explain my issues and my desired outcome. I am currently using the fancyhdr package but if you believe I should be using the KOMA Script equivalent, feel free to leave a comment on how I should use it (I have not used KOMA Script before).

Thanks.

Answer 1

As the package documentation for fancyhdr points out the command \chapter issues \thispagestyle{plain}.
I believe \tableofcontents does this too.
Therefore a redefinition for the pagestyle plain might be needed.
You can do this by adding \fancypagestyle{plain}{\fancyhead{}\renewcommand{\headrule}{}} to the preamble, which sets the pagestyle plain to the pagestyle fancy except having an empty header.
It results in having no header but the footer on pages where a new chapter is introduced.
Don't forget to remove the \thispagestyle{fancy} whenever you create a new chapter.

Concerning the header not beeing displayed on all pages the problem seems to be the definition \captionmark and \sectionmark.
What I found seeming to work is removing those redefines and adding \nouppercase in the definition of both headers leading to

\fancyhead[L]{\nouppercase\leftmark} % SECTION NAME-FIRST SECTION/PREVIOUS SECTION

\fancyhead[R]{\nouppercase\rightmark} % CHAPTER NAME

Answer 2

If you are willing to use the memoir class (a superset of the book and report classes) then you can get the headers/footers that you want. I know it looks complicated but memoir lets you define many pagestyles and where they are to be used.

It seems to me that you want several different pagestyles; for the ToC (and presumably the LoT and LoF as well), perhaps for the title page, for chapter title pages, for general document pages, perhaps for an index or bibliography.

The following MWE provides for your pagestyles for the ToC and LoT, chapter title pages (including appendices) and general run-of-the-mill pages.
