Hi all:

Please consider this file:

\documentclass{memoir}
\newcommand*{\capauthor}{}
\newcommand*{\captit}{}
\makechapterstyle{up}{%
\renewcommand*{\printchaptername}{}
\renewcommand*{\chapternamenum}{}
\renewcommand*{\chaptitlefont}{\huge\sffamily}
\renewcommand*{\printchapternum}{}
\renewcommand*{\afterchapternum}{}
}
\chapterstyle{up}
\makepagestyle{up}
   \makeevenhead{up}{\textsf{\captit}}{}{}
   \makeoddhead{up}{}{}{\textsf{\capauthor}}
   \makeevenfoot{up}{\textsf{\thepage}}{}{}
   \makeoddfoot{up}{}{}{\textsf{\thepage}}
\pagestyle{up}
\renewcommand*{\cftchapterfont}{\sffamily\large}
\renewcommand*{\chapternumberline}[1]{}
\renewcommand*{\cftchapterpagefont}{\sffamily\large}
\newcommand*{\mychapter}[2]{\renewcommand*{\captit}{#1}%
   \renewcommand*{\capauthor}{#2}%
   \chapter[{#1\\[1ex]\textit{#2}}][#1]{#1\\[1em]\Large\textit{#2}}}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter
\mychapter{The doctor}{Dr.\ Jeckyll}
Some text.\newpage Some more text.\newpage Some more text.\newpage

\mychapter{The monster}{Mr.\ Hyde}
Some text.\newpage Some more text.\newpage Some more text.
\end{document}

Here's what I wanted to achieve with this (among other things):

1) The chapter numbers do not appear (both at table of contents and at
the first page of each chapter).

2) For each chapter, both at the first page of the chapter and at the
table of contents, we get both the title and the author (in one line
for each).

3) Everything, except the body of the text, is typeset in a sans serif
font.

Well, I got all this. But I also got two unwanted side effects at the
table of contents:

1) There is a space before the the name of the author;

2) The number of the first page of the chapter appears at the same line
as the name of the author; it should appear, of course, at the same line
as the chapter title.

Can anyone tell me how to correct this?

Best regards,

Jose Carlos Santos

Well, this almost did what I wanted. I replaced

\chapterprecistoc{#1}

by

\chapterprecistoc{#2}

and it was better. However, the font used for the author's name was a
serifed one, in spite of your definition of \precisfont. I had to add

\renewcommand*{\precistocfont}{\normalfont\sffamily\itshape}

Thanks a lot... again! :-)

I only provide the building blocks, the details is up to you ;-)

that way you learn a bit more.
