I have been wrestling with LaTeX the last couple of days and now am frustrated
enough to bury my ego and turn to your collective wisdom for help. First some
background on what I'm trying to do:
I have to typeset a book which is really a collection of papers. Each
of these papers has been individually typeset (in 'article' style) and must now
appear as separate chapters of the book.
I need each page of the book to have headings like those in the LaTeX
book but with a slight difference: I need the left-headings (even numbered
pages) to have the name of the author(s) of the current paper and the
right-headings (odd numbered pages) to have the title of the current paper in
addition to the page number and horizontal line. Also, the start of each
chapter must look just like it did in the original paper i.e. have the title,
name of the author(s), addresses, and abstract.
I removed commands like \documentstyle, the title page commands (\author,
etc.), the \begin{document} and \end{document} and also changed \title to
\chapter. The abstract environment does not work anymore (it does not work for
books) but I think I can write my own abstract environment. I don't know what
I can do about the names of the authors, their addresses, etc, but I suppose I
could typeset them myself.
Now for my questions:
1. Is there anyway I can have LaTeX typeset the title page of each chapter of
the book (it should look just like it did in the original paper).
2. I've been unable to get the page headings to work. I understand I need to
use the myheadings style and use the \markboth command to do this but haven't
been able to figure out where this command goes and how I can specify its
arguments. I know it goes after a sectioning command (in my case I think this
would be the \chapter command) but have no idea what arguments I should give
\markboth. I tried \hrulefill which worked (got a line after the page number)
but I need the name of the chapter and author with a line beneath that.
Any help would be truly appreciated. Please MAIL me your suggestions but of
course you are welcome to post them also if you wish. Thanks again.
