[Tex/LaTex] scrpage2 with scrbook. Chapter on left and right header

header-footerkoma-scriptscrbookscrpage2

I started using scrpage2 with scrbook. First thing I don't understand is the usage of \automark[chapter]{chapter}. How could I let display chapter on left and right header. I managed to do that with subsection and chapter etc. But the first seems to be more difficult..

\documentclass[12pt, draft]{scrbook} 
\usepackage[automark]{scrpage2}

between \begin{document} and \end{document}

 \pagestyle{scrheadings}
 \ohead{\pagemark} 
 \cehead{\leftmark} 
 \cohead{\rightmark} 
 \ofoot[]{}

%%%%%%

\chapter{Intro}
\automark[chapter]{chapter} 


\chapter{Different Chapter}
\automark[subsection]{chapter}

etc.

As far as I can understand, \headmark refers to the chapter on even pages (left hand) and to sections on odd pages (right hand).

If you say

\ihead{\leftmark}

you'll have the chapter title in the inner side of the header on all pages, without any need to give \automark commands.

[Tex/LaTex] Header for frontmatters using scrpage2

Use the scrplain pagestyle for \frontmatter, and switch to scrheadings for \mainmatter. Optionally, redefine the \chapterpagestyle command at \mainmatter. If you want the first pages of frontmatter and mainmatter chapters to show no header/footer at all, add \renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{empty} to the preamble.

\documentclass[12pt]{scrbook}

\usepackage{scrpage2}
\clearscrheadfoot
\ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
\ihead{\leftmark}

\renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{empty}

\begin{document}

\frontmatter
\pagestyle{scrplain}

\title{Your Paper}
\author{You}
\maketitle

\tableofcontents

\mainmatter
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
% \renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{scrheadings}% optional

\chapter{First}
\section{Introduction}
Text

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\clearpage}% just for the example

\section{Some Examples}
Text

\subsection{Sections}
Text

\clearpage
\subsection{Tables and Figures}
Text

\end{document}
