General ⇒ how to display disclaimer, abstract on toc

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi ma501th,

how would you like to solve that? Is the numbering in general ok? Should perhaps only the toc page number vanish, that page just be unnumbered?

Use

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{empty}

before the \tableofcontents command. Then restore your page style using

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{plain}

(replace plain with fancy or whatever your page style was).

Nope. I am sorry. Wrong answer.

Edit: redefine the plain style to empty as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\makeatletter
\let\ps@plain\ps@empty
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{plain}
\tableofcontents

\section{a section}
\lipsum[1-2]
\section{a section}
\lipsum[1-2]
\section{a section}

Hi ma501th,

on alternative solution:

Code: Select all

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

[ma501th]

Hi ma501th,

thanks stefan your code has worked but not completely.

my toc is three pages long which followed by Disclaimer , Abstract and Acknowledgements. The numerical numbers seem to appear again on my list of figures as 5 and also on my list of tables as 6.

The next page is the Disclaimer , Abstract and Acknowledgements which appear correctly as roman numbers.

Can you please tell me how i can get rid of the numerical numbers which appear on Disclaimer , Abstract and Acknowledgements.

Thanks

Hi,

you may try gmedina's code, I've seen already many good solutions by him.
Alternatively something like that:

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{empty}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\tableofcontents
% Disclaimer
% Abstract
% Acknowledgements
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\listoffigures
\addtocontents{lot}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\listoftables
\pagestyle{headings}% or fancy, whatever

Perhaps see here for expalation: \pagestyle and \thispagestyle.

thanks mate it has worked perfectly fine.

Now the last problem i may request for you to solve is the page numbers in genreral.
The numbers seem to appear different location in every page.

Is there way for the number to display central on the bottom of the page?

cheers

Hi ma501th,

what pagestyle do you use? If you write \pagestyle{plain} then the page numbers appear on the bottom. Do you use the headings pagestyle? Do you need running headings on each page? Do you use fancyhdr?
The package fancyhdr may be useful for that purpose. You may look into its documentation for use and examples.
