Page numbering

[Gordon Cooper]

This has probably been asked and answered before. Have spent
half the afternoon looking in Help and User Archives without success.
Apologies for asking again.

We are working on technical manuals,  authored in Lyx and published
in html and pdf.  Authoring language is English, with translations happening
as we find volunteers.  Russian is already done and three more European
languages are in progress.

Would like the page numbering (in the pdf's) to relate to Sections of the
manual. Rather than a 1,2,3,4. sequence, I am looking (hoping?)
for 1-1, 1-2, 1-3,. etc., for the first Section then 2-1,2-2... etc. 
for the

next, and so on.  These sequences to be recognised in the TOC.

The separation characters do not have to be hyphens, 1.1,
1.2 etc, or 1_1, 1_2  would be great.

Why? Briefly, these manuals will be used over several years and most
certainly have updates/additions. Sectional page numbers will make life
easier for the editors. Me for one.

Possible?

Do this:

* Put branches with the respective child documents (Abstract, Preface) before 
the TOC

* At the very beginning of the main document, insert \frontmatter in ERT

* After the TOC, insert \mainmatter in ERT

* In the preamble, remove the \frontmatter decaration in the redefinition of 
\tableofcontents.

See the attached, modified main document of the template.

Changing the order in thesis template with correct page numbering

[Hofstede, M.C.J.]

Dear fellow LYX-users,

I'm using LYX to write my Master's Thesis and since I don't have the experience 
to build a proper format myself I thought I would use a template. The template 
I use is the standard thesis template that comes with LYX 2.0/2.1 (I use the 
latter). However, contrary to what the template does, I want to have an 
Abstract and Preface before the Table of Contents. I want all these three parts 
(abstract, preface and TOC) to have roman numbering and the parts after the TOC 
to have new arabic page numbering. This is what I've tried so far;

  1.  When I  simply insert 2 branches with child documents for the abstract 
and preface, they don't get numbering.
  2.  When I copy/paste the part of the template where the documents starts the 
actual chapters to just before the TOC and include the abstract and preface 
there, the abstract en preface get arabic numbering starting at 3. The TOC has 
roman numbering and the numbering resets to arabic when the chapters start.
  3.  When I insert TeX codes to indicate that I want to start roman/arabic 
numbering , that works fine, but not for the TOC. The TOC gets seperate roman 
numbering and within the TOC, it is indicated that my abstract starts on page 
3, while the page itself shows "I".

Does anyone know how I can accoplish this within the template?

Thank you for your attention and kind regards,

Martijn

I think if you use the fancy header package (fancyhdr  I think)  you can
display the actual page number else where, as in to the left / right.

I have a fairly large table that just about fits onto one page. I prefer it

:-)

I guarantee you, as much of a beginner as you are with LyX, I'd be 
more of a beginner on Mac. I think between 1984 and now I've logged 
about 10 hours on a Mac.

On Linux you go to CTAN, download the package, put it in your LaTeX 
tree, and run the texhash program, then in your LyX document 
properties LaTeX Preamble you put \usepackage{lastline} or 
\usepackage{totpages}, and in your actual document text follow the 
directions in the package documentation.

Since you're a newbie I'm going to give you a piece of advice -- do as 
I say, not as I do. I personally use LaTeX to finesse a lot of what I 
need to do. On the other hand, there are many people on this list who 
can instantly find a package to do what I'd spend a half a day 
finessing. Those guys are a lot more productive than I. So become one 
of them -- get really familiar with what CTAN offers, and how to 
quickly find a package to enable a certain feature. There must be an 
efficient way to do it, because a lot of people on this list can do it 
instantly.

I have one other piece of advice for you, but let's wait until you're 
in a position where you can't get your title page or other front 
matter to look like you want it, and then ask me.

Page numbering: [Page #] / [Total # of pages]

Hi,

how does one change the page numbering format to the following:

[Page number] / [Total number of pages]



Example:

At the bottom (center) of the fifth page of the document that has a total of 15
pages, I would like the PDF file to display "5 / 15".

Thanks!

PDF: Sometimes wrong vs right page numbering issue.

[Michael Joyner]

Osiyo Nigada!

I have a LyX document that I have to preview twice in a row for the page
numbering to be correctly matched up between the PDF and the printed
document.

In a new session, on first view, I can be on printed page 63, but the PDF
page number is 65.
I close the preview PDF.
Without doing anything else, I hit preview PDF button in Lyx, I goto printed
page 63. Now PDF page number is also 63.

It seems like that LyX is not running Xelatex enough times.

Assistance appreciated.

Wado!

I'm not sure what exactly you mean, but you should know that beamer
always expects the user to specify the beginning of a new frame.
Furthermore, LyX cannot know before-hand when a slide is full, as it
would first need to compile the entire document. However, even in this
case LyX doesn't (and possibly will never) feature the automatic
mechanisms that would allow it to spot that a slide is full, and
relies on your eyes to do that.

Regards
Liviu



Sorry but this is actually misleading a bit. You can have frame breaks 
in beamer. In that use case frames are filled just like the pages in a 
regular article. Coming from the powerpoint world you would never want 
to do that, but from a latex world this is what you expect from latex in 
general: you expect that it does the layout for you.


Solution: Put "[allowframebreaks]" in TeX code as the very first thing 
in your Frame heading in LyX. I use this for bibliography slide(s).

It might help to know what you mean by 'slides' and by 'frames'. For
beamer a 'frame' and 'overlay' is what for PowerPoint is a 'slide' and
'animation', respectively. (But I may be wrong.)

Again, I'm not sure what you're looking for. You may want to check the
beamer example in File > New from template, which is a pretty complete
example of what beamer can do.

If you have the mboxfill package installed, you can change the page style to
"fancy" (Document>  Settings...>  Page Layout>  Headings style) and add the
following to the preamble of your document:

\usepackage{mboxfill}
\cfoot{\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}\thepage\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}}

Paul








Another solution also using fancy page headers in the document settings 
but plain tex otherwise. Put this in the preamble.


\def\hlinefill{\leavevmode\cleaders\hbox{\rule[0.6ex]{1em}{0.4pt}}\hfill}
\fancyfoot{\hlinefill~~~\thepage~~~\hlinefill}

In the above:
- 0.6ex is the height of the line (looks kind of centered)
- 1em is the width of a line segment which gets repeated to fill space
- 0.4pt is the thickness of the line (this particular choice is a 
default value elsewhere in tex)


By the way, using fancy headers will add default headers, if you don't 
want them you get rid of them with


\fancyhead{}

If you have the mboxfill package installed, you can change the page style to
"fancy" (Document > Settings... > Page Layout > Headings style) and add the
following to the preamble of your document:

\usepackage{mboxfill}
\cfoot{\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}\thepage\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}}

RE: Page numbering

[Christian Wilhelmsen]

Heisann Marit!

The only way I can think of is, unfortunately, through code, or ERT (Evil
Red Text).

In your document, press CTRL+L, and a red box will appear. After your front
page you could tyoe in the red box : \pagestyle{fancy}
This will change the rest of your document class. I am writing my bachelor
thesis at this moment, and have been working a lot with making
my lyx document look exactly as I want, a lot of settings and some ERT is
unfortunately mandatory.

Document -> settings -> page layout -> fancy and two-sided is the best way
to start I think.

Re: Page numbering

[Paul Rubin]

The default for article (paper) has headers containing section titles (if any)
and page numbers, with the page number in the upper right of the page (except
for page 1).  Are you not getting the page numbers in the upper right corner? 
If not, are you at least getting the rest of the header?

SV: Page numbering

[Ingar Pareliussen]

 
Hi Marit,

Usually the article-class should  have page-numbering on all pages, so probably 
something has been changed from the standard, which might make it difficult to 
know exactly what is wrong. However, the most probably is that 
Document->Settings...->Page-Layout->Headings-Style is somthing other than 
Standard
If it is set to Standard try fancy.

If this does not fix it, you have to send us a copy of your document, you can 
remove all text, but leave all markup and "code" (we call it ERT on the list :) 
)

Page numbering

[Marit Elisabeth Klemetsen]

Hi,

My name is Marit and I am currently writing my master's thesis in LyX. I
have used the document class "article (paper)" since this was the only class
that I found made the front page look the way I wanted it to look.

*However, I just noticed that the pdf output does not have page numbering,
except for on page 1. I have looked everywhere in the menu for a way to
adjust the page numbering, but I cannot find it.
*
Do you have any advice? Preferable a way to do it though the menu and not
through coding =)

Thanks!

Marit

In this situation, usually i use fancyhdr and lastpage
Document->Settings->Page layout, heading style changed to "fancy"

then in the latex preamble (Document->Settings->Latex preamble)
\usepackage{lastpage}
\lhead{}
\chead{}
\rhead{}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{{Page} \thepage { of} \pageref{LastPage}}
\rfoot{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

It will print, Page x of y at every bottom of the page.

That's brilliant!

I was trying for a long time to figure how to do that before finally learning 
about the "official" way to do it -- by using the lastpage package.

Here's the URL for lastpage:

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/lastpage/

When I have the time I'm going to try your label/reference way. It's a *very* 
slick idea.

You know how to insert a label? (Insert-menu -> Label...)
You know how to insert a reference? (Insert-menu -> Cross-Reference...)

To make the ERT box with the current page number you type "\thepage{}" (without 
quotes), mark this text and use Insert-menu -> TeX Code.

An example is attached.

I add a label at the very end of the document and use a reference to that label

For x I add \thepage{} in ERT (the red box for TeX code).

Re: how to change the page numbering in lyx

[pierrickuk]

Hi, 

I did this in LyX on Linux, should work on any other platform:

1) Open one of the help files (like help --> Introduction)
2) Edit the documents settings (Document --> Settings...)
3) In the new window (LYX: Document Settings), Click on LaTeX Preamble
4) copy this part:

% the pages of the TOC is numbered roman
% and a pdf-bookmark for the TOC is added
\pagenumbering{roman}
\let\myTOC\tableofcontents
\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%
  \pdfbookmark[1]{\contentsname}{}
  \myTOC
  \cleardoublepage
  \pagenumbering{arabic} }
5) Paste it in the preamble of your document (open your document, document
settings etc.).

This worked for me using the following classes:
  * book (KOMA-Script)
  * book
  * article
  * report


If you want absolutely no page number for the TOC, maybe somebody else will
give you the solution... although I'm quite convinced I've encountered this
somewhere else on the net before.

Page Numbering Chaos

[Rob]

Hi,

Could somebody please advise me how to change the default page numbering so that
I may simply:
(1) put all page numbers 1 inch from top and 1 inch from right margins
(2) have this hold for first page of chapters
(3) do not have the page number show up on first page
(4) roman page numbers until page X
(5) arabic thereafter.

I specify the \pagenumbering{roman} and then arabic options on the pages that I
want them to begin on, but the roman page numbers don't appear until page 4 for
some reason. 
I'm using the following and am failing on each of the other above points:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyfoot{}
\lhead{}
\chead{}
\rhead{\thepage} 
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

%Redefine the plain setting since this is default for chapters.
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
\rhead{\thepage} 
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}}

RE: Page numbering for subpages

[Rob Oakes]

Hi, 

This could also be done using a set of LaTeX commands following your main
body text.  This is a rough first draft, but the general procedure goes like
this:

1.) Create a variable to keep track of the current page.

2.) Redefine \thepage macro so that it will paginate the sub-figures
appropriately.  This will involve resetting the "page" counter

3.) Set "page" back to its previous value.

If you follow this procedure at every figure/subfigure groups, it should
have the desired effect.  A rough draft of the code is below.  Also, you
might consider redefining one of the float environments (or creating your
own) so that it applies these definitions automatically.  That would spare
you from needing to add them before every block of figures.
%%

% Add to the document preamble
\newcommand{\currentpage}{\relax}

End of Body Text
___

% Add the following before the first "figure" as ERT

% Create Value to Keep Track of the Current Page
\renewcommand{\currentpage}{\value{page}}
\setcounter{page}{0} % Set the page counter value to zero
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{\currentpage}\alph{page}} % Track the sub
pages
___

Sub-figures
___

% Add the following before the next figure as ERT

\setcounter{page}{\currentpage} % Restores the currentpage value
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}} % Restores the previous definition

%%

This is an extremely rough solution, and I haven't tested it, but it would
generally have the effect that you're looking for.

Cheers,

Rob Oakes

Dainis,

I don't know of any easy way of doing this, but the following process should 
work:

1.  Get the numbers of subsequent pages right.  You can do this with the LaTeX 
command \setpagenumber{41} inserted after your last figure, but if you don't 
have any pages after the last figure you won't need to do this.

2. Export to PDF from LyX.

3. Use PDFTK to uncompress the PDF file.
(http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/)

4. Use a text editor on the uncompressed PDF file, and change the page numbers 
as required.

5. If needed, use the text editor on the uncompressed PDF file to change any 
references to the page numbers of the figures on the pages you just 
renumbered.  If you only used figure numbers in crossreferences, you will only 
have to change the List of Figures.

6. Use PDFTK to compress the PDF file. 

I can see some potential problems. The justification of the edited numbers 
will be off slightly. Finding the numbers to edit in the uncompressed PDF file 
could be difficult.  You could simplify that problem by using PDFTK to extract 
the pages to be edited individually, and just uncompressing them.

Page numbering for subpages

[Dainis Zegners]

Hello to everybody!

I have the following problem to solve in Lyx:

I have a couple of graphics in floats that each fill a whole page. I want that
these pages are inserted as subpages, that is with numberings 40a, 40b, etc.

The reason is that I am writting a thesis with a maximum page limit of 40, but I
am allowed to count pages with graphs only as subpages.

I have already searched the internet for some hours but have not found a
solution yet. I found a latex package called subfigure , but some how this did
not work together with the float environment.

I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance ! 

Dainis

P.S. I am using Lyx 1.6.2 on a Ubuntu 9.0.4 system.

The \tableofcontents command in book.cls is defined like this:
\newcommand\tableofcontents{%
\...@twocolumn
\...@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
\else
\...@restonecolfalse
\fi
\chapter*{\contentsname
\...@mkboth{%
\MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}}%
\...@starttoc{toc}%
\...@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
}
The important part is that it formats the heading, "Table of Contents", using 
\chapter*. So if we look at that:
\newcommand\chapter{...@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi
\thispagestyle{plain}%
\glob...@topnum\z@
\...@afterindentfalse
\secd...@chapter\@schapter}
This gets called both for \chapter and for \chapter*. Note how it sets the page 
style.

Getting around this will probably involve both (i) redefining the 
\tableofcontents macro so that it does not call \chapter* but instead, say, a 
new command, \tochapter and (ii) defining that new command. You might try 
something like this:
\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%
\...@twocolumn
\...@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
\else
\...@restonecolfalse
\fi
\tochapter{\contentsname
\...@mkboth{%
\MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}}%
\...@starttoc{toc}%
\...@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
}
\newcommand\tochapter{...@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi
\thispagestyle{empty}%
\glob...@topnum\z@
\...@afterindentfalse
\...@schapter}
I've basically just copied everything over and changed a few bits here and 
there.

Are you sure you don't just want to use \frontmatter and \mainmatter, though?

 It is a Latex question, not a Lyx question.
 Lyx is a front-end of Latex.
 You need to use a package, like fancyhdr, or titlesec, that add a feature.
 You must put in your preamble a command like:
 \usepackage{titlesec}
 plus the required command for set the header and footer stuff.
 (See doc of titlesec or fancyhdr).
 You can use a style like koma-script that have internal commands for set up 
header and footer. (See doc of koma-script: userguide).

Rich,

Neither do I do books often.  Or at least, I don't set up books often: once I 
get it set up, it's a while before I finish it.  The one I copied this 
information from I started writing in late 2007, changed from Komascript to 
Memoir about a year ago, more or less finished six months ago and dusted off

Rich,
I haven't that much experience with memois, but here is what I did differently 
to get this kind of thing working properly:

\begin{titlingpage}
before the start of the title.

\end{titlingpage}
after the material on the back of the title page.

then
\frontmatter

Contents
List of figures
\mainmatter

then the first chapter, etc.

I don't remember where I found out how to do this.

Using Memoir Class: Page Numbering Issues

[Rich Shepard]

  I've not used the memoir(book) class before and thought that I'd give it a
try for workshop attendee material. I'm having problems with page numbering:

  -- The title page is numbered '1' but should be blank.
  -- I set the default \pagestyle{empty} in the preamble but that did not
remove the title page number.
  -- Frontmatter pagination is OK.
  -- Mainmatter pagination starts on the Part 1 page with number '3' despite
the command \setcounter{page}{1} in front of it. Chapter 1 than
begins on page 5.

  I've attached the first 195 lines from the .lyx file.

  I also see commands I don't recognize from previous versions, such as the
doubled 'newline' within the title and author environments.

  Your suggestions on how to properly set up this class so I correct these
pagination errors will be much appreciated.

Then you have to redefine the page numbering using the command

So when you want to have the page numbers in big Roman numbers, then use
\pagenumbering{Roman}
The other types are

\Xmatter definitions are not specific to Koma-script, but are restricted to 
books

You don't need that, though. Just add

\pagenumbering{roman}

in ERT where you want pages to start roman and

\pagenumbering{arabic}

to reset counter and go to arabic

I had wondered about that extra copy... Probably my fault. I keep

and which ones rewrite it to point at the list.  Actually if I got
a reply worth responding to that wasn't obviously intended as a private

No I didn't... But if vertical fill is designed to automatically expand
and or contract as necessary to keep the remaining text before a page
break at the bottom of the page. without changing where that next page
break occurs then it's exactly what I was looking for. And probably a
good reason why I should once again reread the documents found under
LyX->help. Cause now that you mention it I think I have a ghost of a
memory of reading about something like this way back when...

Yup. Does that ever ring true... Now that I know how to separate
"front", "main", and if called for, "back" "matter" My only prob will
be in figuring out what to put in the gosh durned ERT boxes... Course,
this thread has given me several priceless clues on that... 

Though in this case it looks like the functionality I was looking for
can be had internally with that " Vertical Fill" insert function.

Well I might do something like that sometime... But the only place I've
got to put such a thing is my isp provided ("personal web" / "online data
storage") space. And while I know how to post a link to that, it's not
n the other hand if the lyx mailing list has a web archive where a url
of a particular message could be referenced then perhaps I could
compose something of the kind as a reply to this thread. If I kept it
all in plain text, it wouldn't take that much band width... What do
you think?

Now there's an elegantly brutal solution... I LIKE it!

Hmmmnn I'll have to experiment if something like this in the
frontmatter will affect something that inserts the current date
someplace in the mainmatter... Like perhaps an ERT \today

Tell me more... I just did a google for "lyx isodate package" but it
didn't turn up anything that sounded like what I'm hoping you mean...
That is that there is a package that will let me tell lyx or latex to
extract the date (and time? from the lyx file's last modification time
stamp??? I'd be glad they did such a thing. Though I suspect it's likely
more work to figure out than is worth it to me. 



Well I'd like to thank All of you for the kind help you've all shown
me. The info in this one thread is priceless.

When you have a "Title", then a date will be added _unless_ you provide 
one yourself.

So follow the title with a paragraph of type "Date".

If you want no date at all, just write a protected space there. (ctrl+space)


(and/or how to get it to use an arbitrary {hard coded?} date, or perhaps

If you want a hardcoded date, just type it into that paragraph of type 
"Date". Any format will do, for "Date" is just plain text centered 
nicely under the "Title", using a suitable font.

THIS, my friend, is why I always ERT fine tune my frontmatter. By the time you 
end up trying to outsmart your document class in order to get the frontmatter 
the way you want your frontmatter to look, it's easier to do the whole thing 
in ERT. Not only that, but a lot of people decide on a document class based 
on what they want the frontmatter to look like, and then suffer the 
consequences in the mainmatter.

I don't see a problem with hardreturns, but you can always do something like 
this:

Once again, in the frontmatter, replacing the document class's "helpful

Yes, there's a \backmatter. That's where you put your bibliography and index 
and the like.

Yes, by mainmatter I meant the chapters, and I believe all appendices are 
mainmatter too.

What I do with eBooks is put the cover art on the first page, which is 
numbered 1000 or some such. The next page lists my other books, and its page 
number is auto incremented.

The next page is the title page, and is numbered i via an ERT strongarm, 
although there's no page on it. The next page is the copyright page, numbered 
ii, again with no page number on it. The next page is the dedication, how to 
use this book, and the like, which go on for several consecutively numbered 
pages. Finally, the \mainmatter is executed via ERT, resetting the page 
number to 1 and the number display to Arabic, and chapter 1 begins.

Thanks Marcelo. This sounds like one of the "ways to strongarm the

Offhand this looks like a way to thoroughly micromanage page numbering.

Thank You! (I presume these go in ERT boxes???) 

The logic of \frontmatter identifying the part of a book that appears
before the \mainmatter makes me wonder if there is also something like
an \backmatter designation for any parts of a book that may appear
after the last chapter???
 
> There are also ways to strongarm the page number -- I do this a lot in

Agreed, if by main matter you mean the part of the "book" from the
first, through the last chapter, I'd find it disturbing for the page
numbers to be anything but consecutive throughout it. 

Though the unconventional side of my personality would find it
reasonable for some creative work to be presented as a collection of
chapter/books with each chapter numbered separately... But then I'd
hope that each page would be marked with a chapter id as well as a
page number...

But in any normal book I'd be very uncomfortable with inconsistent
page numbering...

Definitely use the \frontmatter and \mainmatter separations. Also, to get the

sections:

\pagenumbering{roman}

Start the book with \frontmatter, and then where you want page 1 to be, use 
\mainmatter.

There are also ways to strongarm the page number -- I do this a lot in the 
front matter of the book, but NEVER NEVER NEVER in the main matter.

Re: some questions on page numbering (pages BEFORE chapter 1)

I don't think I was clear here...  When I said:

I was talking about the Author, Copyright etc... stuff NOT the
position of the page number...

some questions on page numbering (pages BEFORE chapter 1)

[Joe(theWordy)Philbrook]

I'm using "Document class: book (more font sizes)"

I'm hoping I can modify the numbering so that the pages before
chapter one are numbered separately from the pages starting with
chapter one. IE: I want the first page of chapter one to be page 1

I'm also hoping I can get the pre-chapter pages to be numbered with a
different style such as roman numerals...

Below is a specific description of what I'm getting vs what I want to
get. Followed by the header lines of the .lyx file involved which I've
pasted in at the bottom of this message.

This will work. Thanks for giving me a hint. I was able to do some simple 
tests using fancydhr and pdfpages packages to do what I want. Now I just 
need to tune the placement of the PDF content and the headers/footers 
(including rules). I used LyX for my tests, but since I won't be doing any 
content writing or maintenance, I will probably just do in a very short 
LaTeX file in vi and use pdflatex.

Thanks again!

Maybe a clumsy work around but couldn't one do this in LyX?  Splitting up the 
original pdf into single pages (I use CombinePDF) and setting those pages as 
background images in your LyX document?  Could you then add header, footer, 
pagenumbers on top of the page images?

This may not be the slickest way, but I think you can do it all right  
in Lyx  (or just  latex) with pdfpages


in the preamble...
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\includepdfset{pagecommand={\thispagestyle{fancy}}}

define what you want in the headers in ERT with \lhead{} etc.

The original roff documents use various different roff macros all in one 
book compilation -- the page numbering keeps resetting because they are 
using different macros. Post-processing the PDF or postscript seems to be 
easier than converting the many documents to one macro style or to LyX or

In case somebody is interested I found a solution (in this mailing list! :-))

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg45627.html

Basically I added

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}

and I use \thispagestyle{empty} on other pages

Maybe it's a bit crude, but it seems working.

What document class are you using?

The book (KOMA) class supports different page numbers for \frontmatter,
\mainmatter and \backmatter. Usually roman numbers for the \frontmatter, but
I am sure the scrguien.pdf has info on how to configure this -- so no
numbers should be available. AFAIK, the \frontmatter and \mainmatter LaTeX
commands are valid in the standard book class as well. They are not
supported by LyX, so you need to insert them as "ERT" (i.e. via Insert>Latex).

disabling page numbering until TOC ?

[Peter Hanula]

Hi everybody.

I'm fairly new to lyx and tex stuff in general and I'm currently
desperately trying to disable page numbers on all pages until TOC
(including TOC). I can't use \thispagestyle{empty} on every page,
because TOC is more than one page long and it seems to affect only
last page of TOC.

At http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted#toc4 I found a possible solution
but \pagestyle{empty} does not do anything anywhere in document for
reasons which are unknown to me so far.

I tried to modify roman numbering before TOC which I have found here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/RomanPageNumbering  but I was
unsuccessful as well.

lyx v1.5.1
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.6)
everything installed from as it is in ubuntu repository :-)

Any suggestions ?

I've discovered something about customizing (redefining) \thepage,
it must be re-customized each time you issue one of the \pagestyle
commands, otherwise it will be reset to the LaTeX default value.

Change page numbering

[Filippo Zangheri]

Hi guys,

I'm facing a LaTeX related problem. Do you know a working method for
having all pages numbered in the desired way, e.g. "- page -"?

The (obvious) first method I tried was this:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyfoot[EC,OC]{-\ \thepage\ -}

Tha problem is that it only works for non chapter-starting pages.
The second thought was to add the following, to extend "fancy" page
style to chapter-starting pages:

\usepackage{secsty}
\chapterfont{\thispagestyle{fancy}}

Now the problem is that I have headers even on those pages, which I
don't want.

So, any ideas? Any further package to suggest?

I use them mostly and they are added into the TOC by default in Debian

But obviously that's not normal behaviour?

ERT code '\thispagestyle{empty}' will suppress page numbers

ERT code '\pagenumbering{X}' will reset the page counter and use either
X=arabic, roman, or other numbering convention

Some combo will get what you want. Might be a better way.

LyX does not include environments for Chapters in article class (I doubt
LaTeX does either - don't know). I use Sections (not the starred versions -
Section*, e.g.) and it works fine.

Page numbering etc

[Maximilian Wollner]

As for your first question, simply insert ERT and

\pagenumbering{roman} for lowercase roman numerals
\pagenumbering{Roman} for uppercase roman numerals
\pagenumbering{arabic} for arabic numbers
\pagenumbering{alph} for lowercase letters
\pagenumbering{Alph} for uppercase letters

LaTeX resets the page number to i, I, 1, a or A on the page where you  
put the command.



As for your second question, do you use numbered or unnumbered  
sections? Unnumbered sections are not put into the TOC (by default).  
You can add them to the TOC with the ERT-command \addtotoc{Sample Name}
