Contents and other running headers (headlines) not in smallcaps.

[Former user]

Add a bunch of sections/chapters to the classicthesis-book example so that the ToC extends
to a second page.  I expected the running head to have "contents" in spaced small caps
like other chapters.
Instead, it is in regular mixed-caps lettering "Contents".

Version 2011/06/05 v3.0.

It seems that the consistent solution might be to redefine \MakeMarkcase rather than
doing the conversion in the chapter/section definitions, but I need to explore a bit
more.

Slightly unrelated question: Why not use titletoc instead of tocloft given that you
use titlesec?  With titletoc you can apply the smallcaps etc. formatting at the time
of processing the toc rather than having to hack the chapter and part commands.

``` Thanks for the report, this is a really nasty/serious bug.

Do you have any suggestion how to fix this? In the template, we currently use the not-so-nice approach here (which is hard to put into one generic command fixing the issue): \manualmark \markboth{\spacedlowsmallcaps{\contentsname}}{\spacedlowsmallcaps{\contentsname}} \tableofcontents \automark[section]{chapter} \renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\spacedlowsmallcaps{#1}}{\spacedlowsmallcaps{#1}}} \renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection\enspace\spacedlowsmallcaps{#1}}}

NB: titletoc looks interesting, but there is not time at the moment to do such great changes at the core of classicthesis.sty :-\ ```

``` What about just adding the following?

\renewcommand{\MakeMarkcase}[1]{\spacedlowsmallcaps{#1}}

This seems to do the right thing (at least in the failing book example). You should then be able to simply pass the plain text to "\markboth{#1}{#1}" (instead of \markboth{\spacedlowsmallcaps{#1}}{\spacedlowsmallcaps{#1}}) for example. Then one only needs to worry about formatting the toc (which can be done with titletoc for example).

P.S. I have done this with my KOMA version of a thesis class (see the ctmmf_toc_titletoc.sty) which took inspiration from classicthesis.sty and endeavours to be compatible with your class as a style:

It is not ready for general use yet, but if you have any comments or want to use any of it, please feel free. ```

Hello,

Would it be possible to have mixed caps and lower case in the titles?

My concern is for chemical elements such as Ag which appears as AG, looking bad.

Any suggestion?

Case changes can be escaped via: \NoCaseChange{Ag}. Maybe this needs some fine-tuning,
please refer to the respective manual:

Note: When fixing, also look at this (duplicate) issue: https://code.google.com/p/classicthesis/issues/detail?id=78

Marking this for re-implementation/version 5.0.

This was partially fixed: \NoCaseChange{Ag} now works chapter titles (allcaps), but not in the ToC etc., where only smallcaps are used. :-\
