Hello

I have more of a latex question but I'm hoping that somebody would know the answer.

I'm using Lyx 1.4.3 on Windows XP. The document I'm writing is in Book class.

I'm writing a large document with a few chapters, sections and appendices. What I would like is to have a chapter name, section name or appendix name appear on the top of the page. For example if the current page is from "Chapter 1 Title of chapter 1" then on the top of the pages in this chapter I'd like to see "1 Title of chapter 1". As soon the reader reaches "Section 1.1 Title of section 1.1" the header would change to "1.1 Title of section 1.1" I'd like appendices to be handled like chapters. BTW to create appendix I have in ERT \appendix and then all subsequent chapters become appendices.

I found the following code:

\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%
\markboth{\chaptername
\ \thechapter.\ #1}{}}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\fancyhead[RE]{\textit{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}}
\fancyhead[LO]{\textit{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{ %
\fancyhf{} % remove everything
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % remove lines as well
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}}

which does put the section names in the header but it does not put chapter names nor appendix names in the header. How can I modify this to include chapter names in the headers?

Thank you very much
Leo
