I am writing a book and one of my chapters has a very long title. As it can't be displayed correctly on the top of even pages, I provide a "short title name" via the



chapter[short title]{long title}


command. But then, "short title" appears in the table of contents instead of the original/true/long one.



How can I have the "short title" in the header of even pages, and the "long title" in the ToC and in the "Title header"?



For reference, here is the code I use:



documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book}
begin{document}
tableofcontents
chapter[Short title]{Very vey very very very very very very long title
i can't display in the header}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

          The sectioning commands of the memoir class feature a second optional argument:



          documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{memoir}

          begin{document}

          tableofcontents*% Starred form for not including the ToC in the ToC

          chapter[Title displayed in ToC][Title displayed in header]{Title}

          Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

          clearpagenull

          end{document}


          EDIT: Since v3.10, the KOMA-Script classes allow to specify the usage of the optional argument of sectioning commands. The class options are headings=optiontohead, headings=optiontotoc, and headings=optiontoheadandtoc.



          documentclass[headings=optiontohead]{scrbook}

          begin{document}

          tableofcontents

          chapter[Title displayed in header]{Title; also displayed in ToC}

          Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

          clearpagenull

            Another option is to use the truncate package, with fancyhdr, which truncates the header if it's too long, and adds an elypsis at the end:



             usepackage[fit]{truncate}
            usepackage{fancyhdr}
            pagestyle{fancy}
            fancyhead[RO,LE]{truncate{.95headwidth}{leftmark}}
            fancyfoot[C]{thepage}

              the ams document classes behave this way by default -- the optional argument is used
              only for the running head, and the long form is used in the toc.



              because adjustments such as line breaks must sometimes be applied to the long form,
              the ams classes provide an "in-title" modification mechanism to allow different
              changes to apply to the header itself vs. what goes into the toc.



              two commands are provided:




              • for{toc}{...} includes the specified material in the toc entry;


              • except{toc}{...} uses the material in the header itself, but excludes it from the toc.



              this mechanism works also for lof and lot entries. additional commentary can be
              found in the ams author faq.

                        Another option is to use the truncate package, with fancyhdr, which truncates the header if it's too long, and adds an elypsis at the end:

                                the ams document classes behave this way by default -- the optional argument is used
                                only for the running head, and the long form is used in the toc.



                                because adjustments such as line breaks must sometimes be applied to the long form,
                                the ams classes provide an "in-title" modification mechanism to allow different
                                changes to apply to the header itself vs. what goes into the toc.



                                two commands are provided:




                                • for{toc}{...} includes the specified material in the toc entry;


                                • except{toc}{...} uses the material in the header itself, but excludes it from the toc.



                                this mechanism works also for lof and lot entries. additional commentary can be
                                found in the ams author faq.
