[texhax] Simple question?

[Jan Bruners]

Good question, I have a similar one: How can I prevent the section numbers from
appearing in the headers? I use scrheadings with the KOMA scrbook class, so I
can easily define any header using \headmark. Unfortunately, \headmark contains
the section number.

Grateful for suggestions,

Jan
