Why the chapter name and section name are not coming alternately in the header?

Question

MWE:

\documentclass[lang=en,11pt]{elegantbook}
\usepackage{lipsum}


\title{Book Title}
\subtitle{Chapter and section at header alternatively}

\author{No author name given}
\institute{ABC}
\date{February 10, 2020}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\frontmatter
\tableofcontents

\mainmatter
\chapter{First Chapter}
\lipsum[1]

\section{First Ection}
\lipsum[1-20]

\subsection{First Ection}
\lipsum[1]
\lipsum[1]

\end{document}

How can I get chapter name and section alternatively in elegantbook?

Answer 1

• Maybe this helps, I just used the option twoside in the document class.
• According to the manual, the template is "[...] based on the Standard LATEX book class, so the options of book class work as well".
