Hi!

I would like to know how to shorten the size of the header chapter title because it is very long and step on the page number (@MasterDoctoralThesis Template)

Thanks!

As I've already told you: Try the optional argument of \chapter, \section etc. If this does not help, show us a minimal working example, that illustrates the problem, makes it reproducible and can be used to test and show our suggestions.

Hello!

I've the same issue. You're suggesting to use the optional argument of \chapter, \section etc. but I'm not sure what you mean by "argument". Is it some kind of condition or something else?

What I want is to get a shortened headers in my thesis. The document class fancyhdr can't be used in MasterDoctoralThesis template.

This is very important for me because I'm running out of time with submitting my thesis

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regard,
Marta

Haha! I found the solution
I used

\chapter{<Title of chapter>}
\chaptermark{<Shortened title of chapter>\ldots}

and it works perfectly
