When I use the ERT \chaptermark{<my shorter title>} in order to have a shorter chapter title in the header, there is a "delayed reaction". It works well for all pages, but not for the first page, the one with the actual chapter title. Instead, I get the full title inelegantly cut in the header. Any ideas how to get the chapter title page to work too?
The problem was mentioned almost 3 years ago (see below) but I couldn't find any answers.
Many thanks, Catherine Mon, 22 Sep 2003 16:33:22 -0700 Hello LyX-List, In a document I use "fancy" pagestyle and I want the chapters and sectiontitles to be printed in short form in the header, so some of the older E-mails tell that the command needed is: \sectionmark{abc} and it works for all the pages where no new section is started. But on this page the short chapter-title but the long (original) section-title is displayed in the header; so another E-mail tells that the pagestyle ist set to plain at the beginning of new chapters - is it the same with beginnings of new sections, and: is this the problem? - can I change this? -Kai- -- Kai Johannes Keller
