Page Layout ⇒ page number not required on abstract

[sabahmed]

hello everyone
i dont want any page numbers on title and abstract page. for this purpose i have put the command

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{roman}

after abstract page where abstract is decleared as

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\abstractname}{\textbf\large ABSTRACT}
\begin{abstract}here is my abstract \end{abstract}

but page number still appears on abstract page. why it is so? please help me

On the page with the abstract, you could use

Code: Select all

\thispagestyle{empty}

Alternatively

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{gobble}

to suppress the page number.

Although solved, I cannot comprehend the problem with the below code.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,titlepage]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}
  \begin{titlepage}
    The Titlepage 
  \end{titlepage}

  \begin{abstract}
    The Abstract 
  \end{abstract}
\end{document}

Hey,
I was faced with an issue is hiding the page number at my content page but keeping the style of the page and footer. is there any way that i can simply just hide page number without affecting anything else?
Cheers,
Pouya

Hi Pouya,

welcome to the board!

Yes, as I wrote above:

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{gobble}

hides it.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for providing help. I added command \pagenumbering{gobble} to the content page but the problem is that the page number will be hided from next pages too. is there anyway to prevent this?
Cheers,
Pouya

Hi Pouya,

on the next page you could use

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{arabic}

to switch on the numbering. If you would like to continue with a higher page number than one, you could use

Code: Select all

\refstepcounter{page}

or

Code: Select all

\setcounter{page}{2}

for example.
