I have an incorrect chapter mark in a page. I inserted an unnumbered chapter (\chapter*{History}
and I get "List Of Figures" as the chapter in the current position.
How can I change it?
The code:
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\makepagestyle{fancy}
\makeatletter
\makepsmarks{fancy}{%
\createmark{chapter}{left}{shownumber}{\@chapapp\ }{\ \ }
}
\makeatother
\makeoddhead{fancy}{}{}{{\fontsize{9.13}{10}\selectfont%
\leftmark}%
\hspace{0.6cm}{\textbf{\thepage}}}
\makeevenhead{fancy}
{\textbf{\thepage}\hspace{0.6cm}{\fontsize{9.13}{10}\selectfont{%
My book title}}}{}{}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\listoffigures
\cleardoublepage
\chapter*{History}
\lipsum[3-12]
\end{document}
The last page in the output:
At the moment I have a bit of hard time learning the different marks in latex (markboth, markright, rightmark etc.) and therefore I bring my question here.
I am positive that this question has already an answer here on the site. It is just that I am new to this subject and don't have an idea what the keywords are to make a search.
Best Answer
fancyhdr
package because you are usingmemoir
's mechanisms for the headers/footers.\chapter*{History}
put\markboth{History}{}
to get the right header.
