I want to change the headings in my document with fancyhdr in my document to be bold and lower case:
This is quite easily done by using fancyhdr:
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[OC]{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}
\headheight=28pt
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\bfseries\thechapter\ #1}{}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\bfseries\thesection\ #1}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
My problem is, that I also would like to change the headings the same way for the table of contents, bibliography and so on. I managed already to prevent LaTeX from printing the headings here all uppercase by using
\fancyhead[OC]{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}
but I have issues to get the heading in bold letters:
I guess my problem here is, that the table of contents and the bibliography are put following a \frontmatter and \backmatter respectively, which probably interferes with my intention and the use of \chaptermark within the fancyhdr commands.
If I alter the command preventing the upper case letters to
\fancyhead[OC]{\bfseries{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
then I am able to produce bold headings in the TOC and bibliography, but I am unsure if this is an appropriate way to do so.
So what is the better way to address the TOC, bibliography and so on in fancyhdr to get a clean snippet of code?
