Page Layout ⇒ Page numbering like "chapter-page"

[eulenspiegel]

Hello.

How to make page numbering for each chapter in style of "chapternum-pagenum"? For ex., page 5-23 is the 23d page of chapter 5.

Hi,

you can redefine the \thepage command to include the chapter number, and then to restart the page counter every time a new chapter begins you can use the chngcntr package. Take a look at the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\usepackage{lipsum} % just to generate some text

\counterwithin{page}{chapter}
\renewcommand\thepage{\thechapter--\arabic{page}}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Test chapter one}
\stepcounter{page}
\lipsum[1-30]
\chapter{Test chapter two}
\stepcounter{page}
\lipsum[1-30]

\end{document}

Thank you very much!
