[texhax] Running heads that aren't properly justified

[Elizabeth Dearborn]

Use the fancyhdr package (I use a few others too), as follows:

\documentclass{book}
\def\enl{\filbreak\small\textbf}
\def\ene{\filbreak\textbf}
\def\enn{\normalsize}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[papersize={6.14in,9.21in},margin={0.5in},top={1in},bottom={0.75in},headheight={23.101pt},centering,verbose=false]{geometry}
\usepackage[none]{hyphenat}
\usepackage{multicol}
\newcommand{\imark}[1]{#1\markboth{#1}{#1}}
\fontsize{10}{12.5}\selectfont

\begin{document}
\frontmatter 
\mainmatter
% COPY THIS CODE WHEN CHANGING HEADERS
% \end{multicols}
% \eject
\pagestyle{fancy}\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\textsf{\rightmark\\\leftmark}}
\fancyhead[C]{\textbf{Abbreviations}}
\fancyhead[RE,LO]{\small\textsl{Also see Studies, Chemotherapy\\Regimens, and Vocabulary}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.2pt} 
\fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\textit{MeDiCaLeSe~2005}}
\fancyfoot[RE,LO]{\textsf{www.medicalese.org}}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.2pt}
\raggedright
\begin{multicols}{2}
% END OF CODE TO COPY WHEN CHANGING HEADERS
\small \textbf{\imark{3D-SLS}}\enn: three-dimensional superficial liposculpture.\ene 

... and so on.

You can see a page of output at http://www.edearborn.net/6book.pdf .  Hope this helps,

  Subject: [texhax] Running heads that aren't properly justified


  [I posted this question to comp.text.tex; is there
  anyone here who can answer it or who can forward it to
  another forum?]

  I am working on a paper whose style sets up running
  heads using the following commands: 

  \def\ps at headings{%
        \let\@oddfoot\@empty\let\@evenfoot\@empty
       
  \def\@evenhead{{\rule[-5pt]{\textwidth}{1pt}}\hspace*{-\textwidth}\sffamily\thepage\hfil\leftmark}%
       
  \def\@oddhead{{\rule[-5pt]{\textwidth}{1pt}}\hspace*{-\textwidth}\sffamily{\rightmark}\hfil\thepage}%
        \let\@mkboth\markboth
      \def\chaptermark##1{%
        \markboth {{%%%%%was \MakeUppercase
          \ifnum \c at secnumdepth >\m at ne
            \if at mainmatter
              \@chapapp\ \thechapter. \ %
            \fi
          \fi
          ##1}}{}}%
      \def\sectionmark##1{%
        \markright {{%%%%%was \MakeUppercase
          \ifnum \c at secnumdepth >\z@
            \thesection. \ %
          \fi
          ##1}}}}

  In other words, all pages have a rule at the top;
  even-numbered pages have the page number on the left
  and the chapter title on the right; and odd-numbered
  pages have the section title on the left and the page
  number on the right. 

  My problem is that the text placed on the right edge
  of the running head does not come out flush with the
  right margin; i.e., there is a small amount of space
  between the rightmost character of the text and the
  right margin.  The amount of space seems to vary
  depending on the length of the text on the left edge
  of the running head.  Does anyone know what could be
  causing this?
