Numbering in the footer even if numbering in footer disabled

Post by chrisr34000 »

Hi!

I get a page number in the footer, every time a chapter starts, even if I have the following command in my preamble:

Code: Select all

\fancyfoot[C]{}
Should I include all the code of my document?

Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

you don't have just the choice between posting an line and the whole document. Usually nobody needs a whole document of many pages, so that's not an option - but a very reduced, but compilable example, which shows the problem, is always meaningful.

Here I can recommend using

Code: Select all

\fancypagestyle{plain}{...}
see the fancyhdr manual how this can be used.

This behaviour is quite usual, since every chapter page is typeset with the »plain« page style. But the fancyhdr manual tells you clearly how you can change that.

A minimal example is enough.
