Change font within Chapter Title - e.g. first part black, second red
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Since I often use one document in two forms, lets say in form 1 and form 2, I would like to label that accordingly in the chapter headings and have parts in a different color. So the questions is, how can one change Colors within a chapter heading (I know of sectsty
, but this seems to affect the whole and all chapter headings?)?
The following example gives an idea of what I want to achieve, but it does not work since simple text colours in headings seem to be not supported.
documentclassbook
usepackage[english]babel
usepackagexcolor
begindocument
chapterLions and Birds textcolorred(Document Form 1)
%
newpage
%
chapterAlligators and Storks textcolorred(Document Form 1)
enddocument
Thanks in advance and best regards, Manuel

The same cause why ref
or gls
in a chapter etc. title is problematic occurs with textcolor
: The macro MakeUppercase
for the chapter marks at the heading transforms textcolorref...
into textcolorRED...
first, which is expanded to its final meaning, trying to apply an undefined (most likely) color named RED
.
In order to prevent this, the color change must be hidden in a robust macro (or some macro prepended with protect
, but that might get tedious:
E.g.
newrobustcmdredtext[1]%
textcolorred#1%
defines a macro meant for red text.
Another possibility is using the optional argument of chapter
and omitting the color change there, but this will not colorize the text in the ToC.
Please be aware, that mixing too much colors in text may worsen readability.

Thanks, Christian! This works perfectly fine for me. Since I only plan to use two different colors in headings, defining two robust colors is no issue.

@Manuel: You can also use a macroformone
andformtwo
, which does the formatting of your forms without typing the(...)
as well and you can simply change the colors inside theform...
macros instead of switchingredtext
to another macro name -- this depends on your design whatform 1

May be I have missed something! I have just add usepackagexcolor
to the OP MWE preamble and I get this output:

The issue is that the header uses an ALL-CAPS form of the chapter title and will try to find the colour RED, which does not exists. The problem only becomes apparent if you add a second page to the MWE so that you get a page with an actual header. (See also Christian's answer.)
