The problem be, that what I defined for my header and footer is NOT on the chapter-page but only on the non-chapter page. How come? What did I miss?
Is there a problem with the fancy package?
I have a problem with the fancy package: I use the report documentclass and I have a chapter, a lot of text and then a new page starting with a section (or the next page has no chapter starting on that particular page). The problem be, that what I defined for my header and footer is NOT on the chapter-page but only on the non-chapter page.
Do you put a header on the beginning of a chapter?
In general one doesn’t want headers in a chapter starting page: there’s no need for them; moreover this will give a more distinctive look to those pages. In particular a rule above the chapter title doesn’t look very nice.
How to redefine the plain style issued by \\ chapter?
You can redefine the plain style that’s issued by \\chapter. Here’s how you can do; I’d recommend not having headings in the chapter starting pages, nor the upper rule. For the report document class, the command \\chapter is defined in the file report.cls, starting on line 339 or so.
Configure headers and footers for different sections of a document. Click or tap the page at the beginning of a section. Select Layout > Breaks > Next Page. Double-click the header or footer on the first page of the new section. Click Link to Previous to turn it off and unlink the header or footer
Where do I put the page number in fancyhdr?
Code, edit and compile here: This leaves footers (with centered page number) untouched. However, on the page which opens new chapter, page number is missing. To restore number, I have to put after each \\chapter {}.
