non hyphenated headers

[jack bowden]

Hi all,


I'm writing a latex document in the 'book' style and have a number of
chapter headings, with names that are too long to fit on one line.

At present they are being forced onto two or three lines, and the line break
occurs mid-word, is there a preamble command that I can specify, so that the
line break occurs between words?


thanks

Jack

Hi Jack,

try the following workaround:

\chapter[chapter-title in the TOC and on the top of pages]{the long
title with \newline for
forced line breaks and \hbox{...} for forced non-breaks}

example:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter[a very long \LaTeX\ chapter title]
{a very long -- yes, \newline \hbox{very long and complicated \LaTeX}
chapter title}
\blindtext[10]
\end{document}

regards

Kris

Use the hyphenat package and use \nohyphens{very long title}.



Martin.

Hello,

Another solution is to define shorter titles!
try \chapter[short title]{normal and long title}

Or insert hyphanation instructions by "\-".

I hope it helps,
