Page Layout ⇒ Page number in acknowledgments section

[greybadger]

Hi,

On this topic page http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... =47&t=5464, I found a very handy snippet of code to emulate the Abstract page formatting for an Acknowledgments page (I've added the thispagestyle line):

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\newcommand\ackname{Acknowledgements}
\if@titlepage
  \newenvironment{acknowledgements}{%
      \titlepage
      \thispagestyle{plain}
      \null\vfil
      \@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
      \begin{center}%
        \bfseries \ackname
        \@endparpenalty\@M
      \end{center}}%
     {\par\vfil\null\endtitlepage}
\else
  \newenvironment{acknowledgements}{%
      \if@twocolumn
        \section*{\abstractname}%
      \else
        \small
        \begin{center}%
          {\bfseries \ackname\vspace{-.5em}\vspace{\z@}}%
        \end{center}%
        \quotation
      \fi}
      {\if@twocolumn\else\endquotation\fi}
\fi
\makeatother

This works very nicely, except that page numbers are starting at 1 each time this environment (or similar others) are used. How can I force the page numbering to follow the correct sequence? I could force it by hand in each section defined as above, but that's not very elegant.

Thanks,
GB.

Hi,

in the above code, replace \titlepage with \clearpage.
