I am writing up a product report, and building my header with fancyhdr.
On the first page, the section header (in the body) is overlapping with the page header, as shown here:
This is not repeated on following pages:
The header is specified as a 2-line table in the left side, and a 3-line table in the right side.
How can I remove the overlap with the section title? Thanks!
This could works ... (lipsum package and \lipsum command is for the text in pictures)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\title{ccc}
\author{Bernar}
\date{May 2015}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\usepackage[british, french]{babel}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{%
\markboth{\thesection\quad #1}{}}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[L]{\leftmark}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section*{Introduction}
\markboth{Introduction}{}
\lipsum\lipsum\lipsum
\section{First part}
\newpage
\section*{Conclusion}
\markboth{Conclusion}{}

\printbibliography

\appendix
\section*{My appendix}
\markboth{My appendix}{}
\end{document}
Insert a \pagestyle{fancy} before the redefinition of \chaptermark and \sectionmark. The \chaptermark in your code sets a left mark and cleans the right mark. The \sectionmark sets a new right mark. So you can use
\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, twoside]{report}
\setlength\headheight{15pt}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\thechapter.\ #1}{}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection.\ #1}}
\fancyhead{}% remove default header entries
\fancyhead[RE]{\leftmark}
\fancyhead[LO]{\rightmark}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{1pt}
\usepackage{lipsum}% dummy text
\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapter}
\section{Section}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\end{document}

Use
to see the margins configuration. Then you can set it up and increase the distance between the text area and the header (namely
headsep). For example,
