#52 Numbered Index in Page Head

[Harald Jele]

With the value "index=numbered" within the document class "scrbook" I changed the chapter head in this example from "MyIndex" to "2 MyIndex". In the pagehead there is still "MyIndex" printed instead of "2 MyIndex". How can I fix this when using Koma Script unless the markboth command does not help here.

\documentclass[
    10pt,
    twoside,
    toc=listofnumbered,
    listof=flat,
    headinclude,
    footinclude,
    index=numbered,
    usegeometry
]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{makeidx}

\usepackage[headsepline]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\ohead{\headmark}
\automark[section]{chapter}
\setkomafont{pagehead}{\upshape\sffamily\small}
\addtokomafont{pagenumber}{\sffamily\small}

\addto\captionsngerman{
    \def\indexname{MyIndex}%
    }
\makeindex
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\chapter{MyFirstPage}
Foo \index{foo}

Moo \index{moo}
\printindex%\markboth{Huhu}{Huhu} %this does not work here
\end{document}

Seems indeed to be one more bug with the index. It is not limited to scrbook, but also occurs with scrreprt and scrartcl, if \pagestyle{headings} is used.

Thank you for reporting it.

Just a note: The example could be reduced a lot, because neither scrlayer-scrpage nor changing captions is needed to show the problem:

\documentclass[index=numbered]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex

\begin{document}
\chapter{MyFirstPage}
Foo \index{foo}

Moo \index{moo}

\printindex%\markboth{Huhu}{Huhu} %this does not work here
\newpage
Still part of the index.
\newpage
Still part of the index.

\end{document}

Just a workaround would be:

\documentclass[index=numbered]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex

\begin{document}
\chapter{MyFirstPage}
Foo \index{foo}

Moo \index{moo}

\setindexpreamble{\chaptermark{\indexname}}%
\printindex%\markboth{Huhu}{Huhu} %this does not work here
\newpage
Still part of the index.
\newpage
Still part of the index.

\end{document}

BTW: You've one unwanted space in your redefinition \captionsngerman → How to avoid unwanted spaces in the output or Wie unerwünschte Leerzeichen in der Ausgabe vermieden werden.

Issue has been fixed in [r4052].

For test files of several index option combinations see [r4053].
