Subject:      Another optional argument for \section etc. ?
Status: R
X-Status: 
X-Keywords:                  
X-UID: 1402

May I ask for this new feature?

Add a second optional argument to the command \chapter, \section, etc. in
the following manner:

\section[toc entry]{Actual section header, maybe looonnnngggg}[Running head]

If one optional argument is omitted, the obligatory argument is used
instead.

Reason:
LaTeX 2.09 allows to use one shortened form of the section header, which
however goes both in the running head and the table of contents. This is
very unfortunate, since I want to be more verbose in the table of contents
then in the running head.

Yours, J"org Knappen.
