Page Layout ⇒ How to suppress chapter numbers in running head (scrpage2)?

[lkaestne]

Hi there,

I'm using scrreprt (twosided) to typeset my dissertation with latex. For headers and footers I'm using scrpage2. I'm currently putting the chapter titles in right page headers, section titles in left page headers. Code posted below.

Now, what I would like to do is suppress the section and chapter numbers in the headers.

After unsuccessful searches through the web I'm really desperate for some hint(s) on how to go about this ...

Ideas anyone?

Thanks a lot!
Leo

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, twoside, openright]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[a4paper, inner=3.5cm, outer=6cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{changepage}

\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\clearscrheadings
\rohead{\rightmark}
\lehead{\leftmark}
\automark[section]{chapter}

\usepackage{setspace}

\begin{document}

\titlepage{TITLEPAGE}

\chapter{Abstract}
abstract here

\newpage

\chapter{Introduction}

Looooong Text

\section{section 1}
more text
\section{section 2}
even more text

... etc. ...

\end{document}

PS: I'm new here -- hope the post is formatted correctly etc.

Hi Leo,

welcome to the board!
A quick way would be to disable \chaptermarkformat and \sectionmarkformat:

Code: Select all

\let\chaptermarkformat\relax
\let\sectionmarkformat\relax

Because those marks could support finding a chapter or section after looking into the table of contents, I can imagine that the numbers might be useful though. I don't regard headers just as decoration.
Perhaps check also comparable published books regarding this style.

It does the trick! Thanks a lot, Stefan!

Regarding the style: I thought of suppressing the numbers precisely because that's how I found it in a few published books. You've got a point, though. I'll see what the whole document looks like once all the chapters are in.

Thanks again for the quick and easy solution!
