I want to change the page numbering such that it says something like "F_in_a JAR 2" or add my name on all the pages in a non-intrusive way.

I dont have much experience with latex so for writting a book I went with the Kaobook class since it looked nice now i have no idea how to change the numbering or adding the name to all pages with this class.

Edit

the packages Im using are [spanish]{babel} array wrapfig multirow tabularx multicol subcaption [table,xcdraw]{xcolor} styles/kaobiblio

Perhaps you can start from here.

If you are using the latest version from GitHub:

\renewpagestyle{scrheadings}{%
    {\smash{\hspace{-\headmarginparwidth}\hspace{-\headmarginparsep}\makebox[\headtotal][l]{%
        \makebox[7\hscale][r]{\thepage}%
        \makebox[3\hscale]{}\rule[-1mm]{0.5pt}{19\vscale-1mm}\makebox[3\hscale]{}%
        \makebox[\headtextwidth][l]{\leftmark}}}}%
    {\smash{\makebox[0pt][l]{\makebox[\headtotal][r]{%
        \makebox[\headtextwidth][r]{\hfill\rightmark}%
        \makebox[3\hscale]{}\rule[-1mm]{0.5pt}{19\vscale-1mm}\makebox[3\hscale]{}%
        \makebox[7\hscale][l]{\thepage}}}}}%
    {\smash{\makebox[0pt][l]{\makebox[\headtotal][r]{%
        \makebox[\headtextwidth][r]{\hfill\rightmark}%
        \makebox[3\hscale]{}\rule[-1mm]{0.5pt}{19\vscale-1mm}\makebox[3\hscale]{}%
        \makebox[7\hscale][l]{\thepage}}}}}%
}{%
    {\hspace{\dimexpr -\headmarginparwidth -\headmarginparsep}\makebox[\headtotal][l]{%
        \makebox[\textwidth][l]{F-in-JAR}%
    }}% 
    {\makebox[0pt][l]{\makebox[\headtotal][r]{%
        \makebox[\headtextwidth][r]{\hfill F-in-JAR}%
    }}}%
    {\makebox[0pt][l]{\makebox[\headtotal][r]{%
        \makebox[\headtextwidth][r]{\hfill F-in-JAR}%
    }}}%
}

If you are using the template on Overleaf from latextemplates.com:

\renewpagestyle{scrheadings}{%
    {\hspace{-\marginparwidth}\hspace{-\marginparsep}\makebox[\overflowingheadlen][l]{%
        \parbox[t][1.7cm][c]{2em}{\hfill\thepage}%
        \makebox[2em][c]{\rule[-1.03cm]{1pt}{1.55cm}}%
        \parbox[t][1.7cm][c]{\textwidth}{\leftmark}}}%
    {\makebox[\overflowingheadlen][r]{%
        \parbox[t][1.7cm][c]{\textwidth}{\hfill\rightmark}%
        \makebox[2em][c]{\rule[-1.03cm]{1pt}{1.55cm}}%
        \parbox[t][1.7cm][c]{2em}{\thepage}}}%
    {\makebox[\overflowingheadlen][r]{%
        \parbox[t][1.7cm][c]{\textwidth}{\hfill\rightmark}%
        \makebox[2em][c]{\rule[-1.03cm]{1pt}{1.55cm}}%
        \parbox[t][1.7cm][c]{2em}{\thepage}}}%
}{%
    {\hspace{\dimexpr -\marginparwidth -\marginparsep}\makebox[\overflowingheadlen][l]{%
        \makebox[\textwidth][l]{F-in-JAR}%
    }}% 
    {\makebox[0pt][l]{\makebox[\overflowingheadlen][r]{%
        \makebox[\textwidth][r]{\hfill F-in-JAR}%
    }}}%
    {\makebox[0pt][l]{\makebox[\overflowingheadlen][r]{%
        \makebox[\textwidth][r]{\hfill F-in-JAR}%
    }}}%
}

It will print F-in-JAR in the footer of every page.

  • Thanks so much, it made the name appear, but it also moved the top heading to the full left to the point of cutting it off. I have no idea if you know how to fix that without seeing the rest of the code.

  • Are you using an old version of kaobook? Because I remember there was a problem like that in \pagelayout{wide} mode, but it has now been fixed. Moreover the top heading is fine in my tests. Have you maybe done some custom edits to the template files?

  • I'm using the version provided by overleaf don't know if it that would affect that much. And no I haven't edited anything other than the text in the tex files and other than adding the packages or removing the "%" to enable things like showframe. I'm very new to latex I try not to change much yet

  • OK, thanks, I have edited my answer. (assuming that you have found the template on latextemplates.com)

  • It works now, yayy! I wanted to ask one final thing. What are some recommended readings to be able to answer questions like this in the future?

Like this?

You can renewcommand of \thepage.

\documentclass{article}
\renewcommand{\thepage}{F\_in\_a JAR \arabic{page}}

\begin{document}
    Text
    \newpage
    Text
    
    \end{document}

    it doesnt seem to work. also It seems to not work due to having xcolor. the other packages im using are: usepackage[spanish]{babel} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{wrapfig} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage{tabularx} \usepackage{multicol} \usepackage{subcaption} \usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor} \usepackage{styles/kaobiblio}
