[Tex/LaTex] Modifying Koma-Script header

header-footerkoma-script

I'm trying to customize the header of my srcartcl. I found this question which lead me to use \deftriplepagestyle to include an image into my header. Neat!

\deftriplepagestyle{default}
{}
{}
{\includegraphics[height=0.6cm,valign=c]{myCoolLogo}-Software} 
{}
{\pagemark}
{}

However, I would also want to include the section name (and maybe number) into the header and I cannot find any solutions on the web, which allow both (section names and image).

(How) can this be done?

Don't use the interface for advanced users, use the simple interface for normal users.

\documentclass[
headheight=22pt
]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\automark{section}
\ohead{\includegraphics[height=.6cm]{example-image-1x1}}
\begin{document}
\Blinddocument
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to customize the page header and the page number of classicthesis

1. Redefining scrheadings
The redefinition of scrheading is described in chapter 5 in the KOMAscript-manual.

Add the following three lines to your MWE:

\clearscrheadfoot
\ohead{\rightmark}
\cfoot[\pagemark]{\pagemark}

You manipulate chapteror sectionin the header by changing between \leftmark and \rightmark in the second line, i.e.

\ohead{\rightmark}  % section-names in the header
\ohead{\leftmark}   % chapter-names in the header

If you use the option twoside to the class, you can use the command

\ohead{\headmark}

and have chapter names in the left-side heading and section names in the right-side headings, automagically.

Page number x of y
To have page number as ‘6 of 10’, add the package lastpage and redefine the cfoot to:

\cfoot[\pagemark]{\pagemark{} of \pageref{LastPage}}

NB! If you want the same page numbering in the part- and chapter-sides, add the same commands to the optional argument of \cfoot, i.e.

\cfoot[\pagemark{} of \pageref{LastPage}]% for pagestyle `scrplain`
     {\pagemark{} of \pageref{LastPage}}% for pagestyle `scrheading`

3. Section number in heading
To remove the section (or chapter-) number from the heading, in KOMAscript you use the commands:

 \renewcommand*{\sectionmarkformat}{}

and

 \renewcommand*{\chaptermarkformat}{}

Unfortunately, this does not work in classicthesis (the spaced smallcaps disappear). Instead, you have to use

\renewcommand{\sectionmark[1]{\markright{\spacedlowsmallcaps{#1}}}

4. Complete MWE
Your MWE with all your requirements implemented:

\documentclass[dottedtoc, headinclude, footinclude=true]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[pdfspacing]{classicthesis}
\usepackage{lastpage,lipsum,kantlipsum} % Generates dummy text.


\pagestyle{scrheadings} % <--- Affects the page header 
                        % and page number in the footer.
\clearscrheadfoot
\ohead{\rightmark}  % comment this line and uncomment the next
                    % to switch to `chapter name` in the heading
%\ohead{\leftmark}  % comment out to 

\cfoot[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
    \cfoot[\pagemark{} of \pageref{LastPage}]% for pagestyle `scrplain`
     {\pagemark{} of \pageref{LastPage}}% for pagestyle `scrheading`

\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\spacedlowsmallcaps{#1}}}
% Remove section number from heading

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents


\part{Liechtenstein}
\chapter{Liechtenstein}\kant[1-6]\clearpage

\part{Germany}
\chapter{Germany}\kant[1-3]\clearpage
\section{Bavaria}\kant[1-6]\clearpage
\section{Hesse}\kant[1-6]

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to put both chapter and section name in the header of the page

This does exactly what you need. The only necessary thing was a proper definition of \sectionmark:

\documentclass{scrreprt}

\usepackage[autooneside]{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\clearscrheadfoot
\automark{chapter}
\renewcommand\sectionmark[1]{\markright{\MakeMarkcase {\thesection\hskip .5em\relax#1}}}
\rohead{\ifnum\expandafter\pdfstrcmp\botmark=0 \rightmark\else\leftmark{} --- \rightmark\fi}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Cht}
\section{Sct}
\lipsum
\section{SScctt}
\lipsum

\end{document}

This actually shows Section -- Chapter, to show them the other way around, change \leftmark{} --- \rightmark to \rightmark{} --- \leftmark.
