[Tex/LaTex] How to align header/footer

fancyhdrheader-footerpositioning

I want to get left border of the header, please see below, to the tip of the section title and the right border to the end of the text. I use fancyhdr package and the code is:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}

\makeatletter
\newlength{\bibhang}
\setlength{\bibhang}{1em}
\newlength{\bibsep}
 {\@listi \global\bibsep\itemsep \global\advance\bibsep by\parsep}
\newenvironment{bibsection}%
        {\vspace{-\baselineskip}\begin{list}{}{%
       \setlength{\leftmargin}{\bibhang}%
       \setlength{\itemindent}{-\leftmargin}%
       \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibsep}%
       \setlength{\parsep}{\z@}%
        \setlength{\partopsep}{0pt}%
        \setlength{\topsep}{0pt}}}
        {\end{list}\vspace{-.6\baselineskip}}
\makeatother

\reversemarginpar

\usepackage[paper=a4paper,
            %includefoot, % Uncomment to put page number above margin
            marginparwidth=25mm,    % Length of section titles
            marginparsep=1.5mm,       % Space between titles and text
            margin=25mm,              % 25mm margins
            includemp]{geometry}

\usepackage{paralist}
\setlength{\parindent}{0in}



\usepackage{fancyhdr,lastpage}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyfootoffset{.2\textwidth}%\marginparsep+\marginparwidth
\fancyheadoffset{20pt}
\lhead{The Curiculum Vitae of Vahid Ebrahimzade}
\rhead{\thepage}
\chead{}
\fancyfoot{}

\usepackage{color,hyperref}
\definecolor{darkblue}{rgb}{0.0,0.0,0.3}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,breaklinks,
            linkcolor=blue,urlcolor=blue,
            anchorcolor=blue,citecolor=kblue}

\renewcommand{\section}[2]%
        {\pagebreak[2]\vspace{1.3\baselineskip}%
         \phantomsection\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#1}%
         \hspace{0in}%
         \marginpar{
         \raggedright \scshape #1}#2}


\newenvironment{innerlist}[1][\enskip\textbullet]%
        {\begin{compactitem}[#1]}{\end{compactitem}}

\newcommand{\blankline}{\quad\pagebreak[2]}

\begin{document}

\section{Forschungs-\newline t\"atigkeit}
%\vspace{.5cm}
\begin{bibsection}
\item Modellreduktion Methoden
\item Surrogate Modellierung; Polynomfunktion Methoden, Radiale Basisfunktion Methoden
\end{bibsection}

\vspace{2cm}        

\end{document}

Which leads to:

Can anyone help me?

Best Answer

Your header needs an offset to the left equal to the width of the space reserved for marginal notes (\marginparwidth) plus the separation between marginal notes and the text body (\marginparsep), like so

\fancyheadoffset[L]{\dimexpr\marginparsep+\marginparwidth}

A complete example:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}

\makeatletter
\newlength{\bibhang}
\setlength{\bibhang}{1em}
\newlength{\bibsep}
 {\@listi \global\bibsep\itemsep \global\advance\bibsep by\parsep}
\newenvironment{bibsection}%
        {\vspace{-\baselineskip}\begin{list}{}{%
       \setlength{\leftmargin}{\bibhang}%
       \setlength{\itemindent}{-\leftmargin}%
       \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibsep}%
       \setlength{\parsep}{\z@}%
        \setlength{\partopsep}{0pt}%
        \setlength{\topsep}{0pt}}}
        {\end{list}\vspace{-.6\baselineskip}}
\makeatother

\reversemarginpar

\usepackage[paper=a4paper,
            %includefoot, % Uncomment to put page number above margin
            marginparwidth=25mm,    % Length of section titles
            marginparsep=1.5mm,       % Space between titles and text
            margin=25mm,              % 25mm margins
            includemp]{geometry}

\usepackage{paralist}
\setlength{\parindent}{0in}



\usepackage{fancyhdr,lastpage}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyheadoffset[L]{\dimexpr\marginparsep+\marginparwidth}
\fancyfootoffset{.2\textwidth}%\marginparsep+\marginparwidth
\lhead{The Curiculum Vitae of Vahid Ebrahimzade}
\rhead{\thepage}
\chead{}
\fancyfoot{}

\usepackage{color,hyperref}
\definecolor{darkblue}{rgb}{0.0,0.0,0.3}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,breaklinks,
            linkcolor=blue,urlcolor=blue,
            anchorcolor=blue,citecolor=kblue}

\renewcommand{\section}[2]%
        {\pagebreak[2]\vspace{1.3\baselineskip}%
         \phantomsection\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#1}%
         \hspace{0in}%
         \marginpar{
         \raggedright \scshape #1}#2}

\newenvironment{innerlist}[1][\enskip\textbullet]%
        {\begin{compactitem}[#1]}{\end{compactitem}}

\newcommand{\blankline}{\quad\pagebreak[2]}

\begin{document}

\section{Forschungs-\newline t\"atigkeit}
%\vspace{.5cm}
\begin{bibsection}
\item Modellreduktion Methoden
\item Surrogate Modellierung; Polynomfunktion Methoden, Radiale Basisfunktion Methoden
\end{bibsection}

\vspace{2cm}        

\end{document}

As a side note, the \newline command in the argument of \section will pose you problems (with the bookmark, an eventual ToC entry). Were you using \section with a redefinition allowing the optional argument, this could've been easily solved.

Edit

To start the text on the second and following pages on the same height as the header on the first page:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,ngerman]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman,german]{babel}
\usepackage{lastpage,lipsum} %% lipsum for dummy text remove in your file
\usepackage[margin=3cm,showframe]{geometry}
%
\title{title}
\author{some name}
%
\usepackage{fancyhdr}      
\fancypagestyle{myfancy}
{
    \fancyhf{}
    \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
    \lfoot{Some Text}
    \rfoot{\thepage/\pageref{LastPage}}
}
%
\fancypagestyle{seite1}
{
   \fancyhf{}
   \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.5pt}
   \lhead{some\\text}
   \chead{~\\even more text}
   \rhead{text\\\today}
   \rfoot{\thepage/\pageref{LastPage}}
}
\pagestyle{myfancy}
\geometry{left=3cm,right=3cm,top=1.6cm,bottom=3cm,headheight=0pt,headsep=10pt}
\begin{document}
\newgeometry{margin=3cm,headheight=40pt,headsep=10pt}
\thispagestyle{seite1}
\section*{Aufgabe 1:}
\lipsum[1-5]
 Nulla egestas. Curabitur a leo. Quisque egestas wisi eget nunc.
Nam feugiat lacus vel est. Curabitur consectetuer.

%% Put the following line at the end of the first page
\restoregeometry
\lipsum[1-4]
\section*{Aufgabe 1:}

\end{document}

However, IMO, this spoils the consistency of page layout.

[Tex/LaTex] How to make pages after the first come out correctly with fancyhdr

If you don't set a proper head height, fancyhdr reports the following:

Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (XX.Xpt): 
 Make it at least YY.YYYYpt.
 We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
 This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.

As such, the newly-set \headheight will be the same throughout the document. To avoid this, I've created the following minimal document that sets a consistent head height, adding a vertical space (gap) on the first page to simulate a larger header:

I've used geometry to adjust the page layout - it's just easier/more convenient.
