QUESTION
I am writing a book and one of my chapter has a very long title. As it can't be displayed correctly on the top of even pages, I provide a "short title name" via the \chapter[short title]{long title} command. But then, "short title" appears in the table of contents, instead of the original/true/long one.
How can i have the "short title" in the header of even pages, and the "long title" in the ToC and in the "Title header"?
For reference, here is the code I use:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter[Short title]{Very vey very very very very very very long title
i can't display in the header}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
\cleardoublepage
\end{document}
ANSWER
\chapter[toc version]{doc version}
\chaptermark{version for header}
