LyX ⇒ Page number appears on first page of TOC

[steun]

I have found a thread about this subject already but my problem is different.
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... TOC#p53771

My table of contents is 3 pages long. And I followed the instructions on the wiki and now I get a page number on the first page only. I should get none at all. If I look at the thread I found here I did nothing wrong.

Document type is report.

This is how my document looks like:

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{empty}

Table of contents

Acknowledgements
\pagestyle{headings}
\pagenumbering{roman}

..some more chapters

CHAPTER1 Introduction
\pagenumbering{arabic}

Hi steun,

welcome to the board!

Just add at the beginning of your document:

Code: Select all

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

This sets the page style for the first ToC page. Otherwise it would have page style plain, as usually first pages of chapters have.

Thanks a lot Stefan! I couldn't wish for a faster response. It works!

Maybe I am blind but this wiki doesn't show that command you wrote, the wiki states that with \pagestyle{empty} it should work.

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Numbering#startpage

Suppose you want to have some pages without pagination (e.g. title pages, TOC) and want to start with page "1" afterwards. Just suppress, if necessary, the pagination on those pages with \thispagestyle{empty} (if it's only one page) or \pagestyle{empty} (if it concerns multiple pages). Then, start the pagination with \setcounter{page}{1} on the desired page. Note that you might eventually need to reset the pagestyle on that page to get a page number, e.g. by \pagestyle{fancy} or \pagestyle{headings}.

At least it mentions \thispagestyle{empty}. In this case, I used \addtocontents to write this command to the .toc file, so it's read in together with the ToC entries.

The wiki is not wrong, it even provides information in this direction (just combine \thispagestyle{empty} and \pagestyle{empty}), however it doesn't deal with this case. It's a wiki, so users can extend it.
