I'd like to have a header where the current section is centered but without the section-number. In the following example the header looks like "1 Example" but I'd like to have "Example".

\documentclass[headsepline, footsepline]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{scrpage2}
\begin{document}
\clearscrheadfoot
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\automark[section]{section}
\ihead[University]{University}
\chead[\rightmark]{\rightmark}
\ohead[Author]{Author}
\ifoot[\today]{\today}
\ofoot{\thepage}
\section{Example}
Text
\end{document}

Is that anyhow possible?

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Do you mean the section title "header" or the page header, usually called 'living column title'? –  Aug 07 '14 at 19:21
  • I'm so sorry, I'm not that familiar with the correct namings. I guess I mean the page header. The text between (in this case) University and Author. – Ron Aug 07 '14 at 19:28

    indeed - see the link in my comment. in short: add \renewcommand*{\sectionmarkformat}{} in your preamble and you should get the section name without the number in the header – greyshade Aug 07 '14 at 19:30
  • Wow, you're a genius. That's it. So easy. Thank you so much for your quick response. You really helped me out. – Ron Aug 07 '14 at 19:31

Using the idea found in Chapter title without number, the solution to your problem is to insert 

\renewcommand*{\sectionmarkformat}{}

in the preamble (for instance after \usepackage{scrpage2}). This removes the number in the header.

  • How would I do the same only for select chapters/sections, e.g. the references at the end of a book? Inserting the commands in the document results in an error. – kuuhkuuh Oct 21 '16 at 22:52
  • I haven't tested this now, but I think you could change the pagestyle to plain (or similar) before the chapter/section you want to remove using '\pagestyle{plain}' – Dolphin Oct 25 '16 at 11:05
