Page Layout ⇒ No Roman Page Numbers for LoF

[Tanu]

I had to hard code my table of contents, list of tables, list of figures instead of using \tableofcontents and \listoftables because I had to align the headers properly (latex was not doing the proper alignment when the toc or lof extended to more than 1 page). That's a different issue. The issue I am having now is with page numbering.
I want these pages to have roman numeral page numbers. I have used the following

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{roman}

This works fine for numbering abstract, toc, list of tables. But the list of figures start with arabic numbering.
I have explicitly tried doing the following before hard coding the list of figures:

Code: Select all

\thispagestyle{myheadings}
\pagenumbering{roman}

But it still didn't help.
NOTE - I do have a \newpage before the list of figures start.

Unfortunately you didn't write anything about the document class you are using. So the information you give is a bit poor. Here's a possible solution for the book class.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,english]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[pagestyles,raggedright]{titlesec}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\newpagestyle{front}{%
  \headrule
  \sethead[\thepage][][\chaptertitle]{\chaptertitle}{}{\thepage}
}
\newpagestyle{main}[\small\sffamily\rm]{%
  \headrule
  \sethead[\thepage][][\thesection\enspace\sectiontitle]{\thechapter\enspace\chaptertitle}{}{\thepage}
}
\newpagestyle{back}[\small\sffamily\rm]{%
  \headrule
  \sethead[\thepage][][\chaptertitle]{\chaptertitle}{}{\thepage}
}

\begin{document}
  \frontmatter
  \pagestyle{front}
  \tableofcontents
  \listoffigures
  \listoftables

  \mainmatter
  \pagestyle{main}
  \blinddocument

  \backmatter
  \pagestyle{back}
  \begin{thebibliography}{9}
    \bibitem{key} Bibliogrpahy Item
  \end{thebibliography}
  \newpage~   % This is only for generating a second page for the bibliography, can be deleted in a real document
\end{document}

For other classes the solution surely will differ. The blindtext package is only for creating dummy text, thus is not part of the solution.
