Our university has instructions to write the thesis in a one-sided format. I am trying to place the chapter title and section title in the odd-even pages. I have succeeded (with manual inputs) in placing these along with the page number using the code from this link.
I manually put the following code in every section (of every chapter) to get this.
\pagestyle{fancy}
\newcommand\cotitle{Chapter 1 Title}
\newcommand\secco{Chapter 1, Section 1 Title}
\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand\headrulewidth{0pt}
\fancyhead[C]{%
\ifodd\value{page}
\small\scshape\cotitle
\else
\small\scshape\secco
\fi }
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage\ifodd\value{page}\else\hfill\fi}
Is it possible to use \rightmark
and \leftmark
to get automatic chapter title (say, in the odd pages) and section title (say, in the even pages) in a one-sided thesis format?
Note that, I have 5 chapters and each containing 4-6 sections.
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
\leftmark
will be the chapter title and\rightmark
will be the section title. The default is that they also contain the chapter and section number, respectively. You must redefine\chaptermark
and\sectionmark
if you don't want these numbers. See thefancyhdr
documentation.
