Chapter Title not shown in Header

Hello,

I encounter the problem, that when creating pdf from my asciidoc file. The chapter title is not shown in the header.

The corresponding code in the yml file looks as follows:

header:
font_size: $base_font_size
border_color: dddddd
border_width: 0.25
height: $base_line_height_length * 4.0
line_height: 1
padding: [$base_line_height_length / 2, 1, 0, 1]
vertical_align: bottom
recto:
right:
content: image:OS_transparent.png[width=150]
left:
content: '{page-number} | {chapter-title}'
verso:
left:
content: image:OptiSense_transparent.png[width=150]
right:
content: '{page-number} | {chapter-title}'

In the output only the page number is shown in the header, as well as the logo. If I use {section-title} instead of {chapter-title} the section title is shown correctly.

What did I do wrong here?
Thank you for your help.

I never considered that you could even do this with Asciidoctor. That's interesting. Did you end up finding a solution?

Could this be done with pagination specific CSS?

Clemens,

Have you set the doctype to book? The chapter-title replacement is only available when the doctype is book.

> If I use {section-title} instead of {chapter-title} the section title is shown correctly.

That's a strong indicator to me that you have not set the doctype to book (and thus the document isn't being parsed as a book). The section-title replacement is always available, whereas the chapter-title is only available in a book (as only a book has chapters).

Cheers,

-Dan

Re: Chapter Title not shown in Header

Dear Dan,

you were right that solved the problem.

However, another question arose

The header show e.g. "Chapter 7. Name_of_Chapter"

I would like to format it like the following:

"7. Name_of_Chapter"

Where can I do that?

By the way, a great program that you wrote. I convinced my colleagues to switch from Word to Asciidoc for writing documentation.

Found out myself:
chapter-label |Prefix added to chapter titles (i.e., level-1 section titles when doctype is book). (pdf converter only)

I cannot tell you how happy that makes me to hear that. Nice work!
