fancyhdrheader-footerrules
When using fancyhdr, how do you remove the top horizontal rule?
I do not want a header at all, just a footer.
This is what I do now:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lfoot{text}
\cfoot{text 2}
\rfoot{text 3}
\begin{document}
Foo Bar
\end{document}
My \myhrule for rules in headers looks slight different than David's. The position of the heading text doesn't depend on the depth of the text. And, of course, I needn't any additional package.
\makeatletter
\def\myhrule{\lower1ex\null\vadjust{\hrule}}
\renewcommand\ps@headings{%
\def\@evenhead{foo\hfill bar\myhrule}%
\def\@oddhead{foo\hfill bar\myhrule}%
}
\makeatother
Since you have to define the \headheight at the begining of the code within geometry package irredeemably, this will stablish that same height for the header throughout the document.
To change that, you can define a \newgeometry with the \headheight equal to 0pt at the begining of even pages, but you have to redefine your previous geometry in the next page again. This is a manual procedure, but I don't know another way to do that.
Here I post you some code. As you can see, I have defined two styles with \fancypagestyle, one for even pages and another one for de odd ones. If you want to disable the numbering of the pages, just remove the \fancyfoot and \renewcommand\footrulewidth lines inside each style.
\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=2cm,includeheadfoot,headheight=44pt]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\fancypagestyle{odd}{ %
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[OL]{COURSE}
\fancyhead[OR]{
\begin{tabular}{ c c }
NAME & NO \\
NAME1 & xxx \\
NAME2 & yyy \\
\end{tabular}
}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
}
\fancypagestyle{even}{ %
\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{odd}
\lipsum[1-2]
\newpage
\thispagestyle{even}
\newgeometry{margin=2cm,includefoot,headheight=0pt} %Just \includefoot
\lipsum[1-2]
\newpage
\thispagestyle{odd}
\newgeometry{margin=2cm,includeheadfoot,headheight=44pt}
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{document}
The first page is messed up because the
\headheightis by default12ptbut should be44ptin this case. Is there any way to calculate this automatically? I would like to avoid typing44ptmanually.
I don't know any way to avoid calculate this manually. Just compile your document and wait for the log message referring to the \headheight and set that lenght as minimum.

There are various examples in the
fancyhdrdocumentation of redefining the\headrulewidth:will do what you want.
To learn more about
fancyhdr, you could either look into its documentation or at the respective chapter in the Wikibook LaTeX.
