Using fancyhdr to format my headers, I want them to display the current chapter name in small caps. So with no surprise I’ve ended up doing something like this:
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{} % Clears the standard fancy style header
\fancyhead[CO]{\textsc{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}} % Displays current chapter name in small-caps on odd-numbered pages
Which of course works quite well, but the point is that I want no standard uppercase at all in the headers: in other words, I want a chapter called “The Chapter ABC” to be treated as “the chapter abc” during the small-caps-isation process. Is there any way to achieve this? I tried different solutions with things such as \MakeLowercase
or \MakeTextLowercase
, but they all appear ineffective within \fancyhead{}
.
I’m obviously looking for a solution easier and more “automatic” than the one consisting in manually renaming the header with \fancyhead{}
after each \chapter{}
, which is the one I’m currently using…
Thanks a lot to everyone willing to help me!

Redefine
\chaptermark
to avoid\MakeUppercase
; I also instruct to use\footnotesize
for the number, or it would appear too big.
