How do I change \rightmark?
Laurent Duperval
I want to change my \rightmark so it reads
2. INTRODUCTION
instead of
CHAPTER 2. INTRODUCTION
I've tried various things but none work. Any ideas?

This \rightmark is generated in the standard LaTeX classes by the
\chaptermark command, so you must redefine it. e.g.
\renewcommand\chaptermark[1]{\markboth {\uppercase{\thechapter.\ #1}}{}}

I've tried this macro an another variation (taken from the LaTeX Companion),
I've tried to modify the report class definition of \rightmark, to no avail.
*Sigh* I'm beginning to think this might be an oversight from the 2e
development team.
Has anyone managed to do this with LaTeX2e? If so, can you send me the set of
macros you used to do so? Maybe I'm missing something obvious.

It works for me. Just the line above in your document suffices. No changes
to the class files.
Or do you want something else to happen?

The above information was correct but didn't work for me. Piet later sent me
the correct way to do this:

I found your problem:
If you say \pagestyle{headings} then \chaptermark get its default value
(this is also true for \pagestyle{fancy}, but only on the first call).
So you must do the \renewcommand\chaptermark after the \pagestyle command.
If you are using \pagestyle{headings} and not twoside, you must use
\markright in the \chaptermark:
\renewcommand\chaptermark[1]{\markright {\uppercase{\thechapter.\ #1}}}
and if you are using twoside you must use \markboth:
\renewcommand\chaptermark[1]{\markboth {\uppercase{\thechapter.\ #1}}{}}
