So it kind of comes down to either defining a new class, redefining \chapter, or redefining the plain style. At least for now, I opt for redefining the plain style using fancyhdr's \fancypagestyle command. For example, the below code seems to do what I want: \documentclass{book} \usepackage[Glenn]{fncychap} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \usepackage{geometry} \geometry{ xetex,paper=a4paper, centering,twoside, includehead,nofoot, margin=15mm, nomarginpar, showframe } \fancyhf{}% \fancyhf[HOR,HEL]{page \thepage} \fancypagestyle{plain}{% reference: fancyhdr.pdf version 3.1 pages 7-8 \fancyhf{}% clear all headers and footers \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}% remove head rule \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}% remove foot rule } %\pagestyle{headings} \begin{document}% \chapter{This Chapter} %\thispagestyle{empty} \ldots first page \ldots \clearpage \ldots second page \ldots \clearpage \ldots third page \ldots \clearpage \ldots forth page \ldots \clearpage \ldots fifth page \ldots \clearpage \ldots sixth page \ldots \clearpage \ldots seventh page \ldots \clearpage \ldots eigth page \ldots \end{document}% Thank you again, Dan 2011/12/3 Zdenek Wagner : > 2011/12/3 Daniel Greenhoe : >> Thank you for your fast reply. >> >> 2011/12/3 Zdenek Wagner : >>> It is described in LaTeX documentation that \chapter >>> contains implicitely \thispagestyle{plain} >> >> Then isn't this a bug with LaTeX's \chapter command?

There is no way how to communicate between the page style mechanism and the sectioning macros. \chapter could measure \footskip but zero value does not mean that a footer does not exist and positive value does not mean that a footer exists. It would be necessary to find the current definition of \@oddfoot and analyze it but it may be a complex macro and if you decied to implement a kind of AI in LaTeX macros just to know whether a footer is uset to typeset anything related to the chapter, your LaTeX compilation will run for ages. The LaTeX documentation (Leslie Lamport's book, Frank Mittelbach et al. LaTeX Companion, classes documentation) always informed that \chapter issues \thispagestyle{plain} and the user is supposed to cope with it. \chapter even does not know what the plain style is, nobody says that it contains a footer. The problem with plain page style has been bothering users for decades. That's why there used to be \fancyplain in the fancyhdr package. I stopped using this package some 15 years ago but hopefully this feature is retained. The fansyhdr package always was well documented, it should be mentioned in the manual. > Is there really no way I can blame this on something besides myself? > > Dan > > 2011/12/3 Zdenek Wagner : >> 2011/12/3 Daniel Greenhoe : >>> When using the fancychap package with the "Glenn" option and *no >>> footer*, there seems to be a minor problem: >>> When starting a new chapter, the package still attempts to put a page >>> number in the footer even though there is supposed to be no footer. >>> >>> Besides the brute-force solution of placing "\thispagestyle{empty}" >>> with every chapter declaration (or an equivalent "\newchapter" macro >>> solution), is there any more "elegant" solution to the problem? >>> Shouldn't this be considered as a bug in the fancychap code? >>> >> I have looked at your code and briefly at fncychap.

If you don't want it that way (after all it's a design decision) you redefine the \chapter command. Packages are designed to change the way a class operates so the class should know nothing about subsequently loaded packages.

Re: [XeTeX] page numbering using fancychap with Glenn option and no footer
Thank you for your fast reply. 2011/12/3 Zdenek Wagner : > It is described in LaTeX documentation that \chapter > contains implicitely \thispagestyle{plain} Then isn't this a bug with LaTeX's \chapter command? For example, this has the same problem (no fancychap, no fancyhdr): \documentclass{book} \usepackage{geometry} \geometry{ xetex,paper=a4paper, centering,twoside, includehead,nofoot, margin=15mm, nomarginpar, showframe } \pagestyle{headings} \begin{document}% \chapter{This Chapter} \ldots first page \ldots \clearpage \ldots second page \ldots \clearpage \ldots third page \ldots \end{document}% Can't the \chapter command know that there is no footer and that the default page style is "headings"? If it can know these things, why does it still insist on reverting to pagestyle{plain} and putting a page number outside the legitimate printable area? Is there really no way I can blame this on something besides myself?
