-<h3>My section title is too wide for the page header</h3>
-<p/>By default, LaTeX sectioning commands make the chapter or section
-title available for use by page headers and the like. Page headers
-operate in a rather constrained area, and it&rsquo;s common for titles too
-be too big to fit: the LaTeX sectioning commands therefore take an
-optional argument:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\section[short title]{full title}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-If the &lt;<i>short title</i>&gt; is present, it is used both for the table of
-contents and for the page heading. The usual answer to people who
-complain that their title is too big for the running head is to
-suggest that they the optional argument.
-<p/>However, using the same text for the table of contents as for the
-running head may also be unsatisfactory: if your chapter titles are
-seriously long (like those of a Victorian novel), a valid and rational
-scheme is to have a shortened table of contents entry, and a really
-terse entry in the running head.
-<p/>One of the problems is the tendency of page headings to be set in
-capitals (which take up more space); so why not set headings as written
-for &ldquo;ordinary&rdquo; reading? It&rsquo;s not possible to do so with unmodified
-LaTeX, but the <i>fancyhdr</i> package provides a command
-<code>\</code><code>nouppercase</code> for use in its header (and footer) lines to suppress
-LaTeX&rsquo;s uppercasing tendencies. Classes in the <i>KOMA-script</i>
-bundle don&rsquo;t uppercase in the first place.
-<p/>In fact, the sectioning commands use &lsquo;mark&rsquo; commands to pass
-information to the page headers. For example, <code>\</code><code>chapter</code> uses
-<code>\</code><code>chaptermark</code>, <code>\</code><code>section</code> uses <code>\</code><code>sectionmark</code>, and so on. With
-this knowledge, one can achieve a three-layer structure for chapters:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\chapter[middling version]{verbose version}
-\chaptermark{terse version}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-which should supply the needs of every taste.
-<p/>Chapters, however, have it easy: hardly any book design puts a page
-header on a chapter start page. In the case of sections, one has
-typically to take account of the nature of the <code>\</code><code>*mark</code> commands:
-the thing that goes in the heading is the first mark on the page (or,
-failing any mark, the last mark on any previous page). As a result
-the recipe for sections is more tiresome:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\section[middling version]{verbose version%
- \sectionmark{terse version}}
-\sectionmark{terse version}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-(the first <code>\</code><code>sectionmark</code> deals with the header of the page the
-<code>\</code><code>section</code> command falls on, and the second deal with subsequent
-pages; note that here, you need the optional argument to <code>\</code><code>section</code>,
-even if &ldquo;<em>middling version</em>&rdquo; is in fact the same text as
-&ldquo;<em>long version&rdquo;</em>.)
-<p/>A similar arrangement is necessary even for chapters if the class
-you&rsquo;re using is odd enough that it puts a page header on a chapter&rsquo;s
-opening page.
-<p/>Note that the <i>titlesec</i> package manages the running heads in
-a completely different fashion; users of that package should refer to
-the documentation.
-<p/>The <i>memoir</i> class avoids all the silliness by providing an
-extra optional argument for chapter and sectioning commands, for
-example:
-<blockquote>
-
-<pre>
-\section[middling version][terse version]{verbose version}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-As a result, it is always possible for users of <i>memoir</i> to
-tailor the header text to fit, with very little trouble.
