Help On LaTeX \mark

# \mark

`\markboth{left` head}{right head} \markright{right head}

The `\markboth` and \markright commands are used in conjunction with the page style myheadings for setting either both or just the right heading. In addition to their use with the myheadings page style, you can use them to override the normal headings in the headings style, since LaTeX uses these same commands to generate those heads. You should note that a left-hand heading is generated by the last `\markboth` command before the end of the page, while a right-hand heading is generated by the first `\markboth` or \markright that comes on the page if there is one, otherwise by the last one before the page.
