Page Layout ⇒ Customized Setup for Page Numbering

[laailalalaa]

Hello,

I'm changing a document class file. I want to display page numbering at the bottom of each page, starting with the first page. The page number should be horizontally centered. So far I came up with smth like this:

Code: Select all

\def\ps@headings{\let\@mkboth\@gobbletwo
\def\@oddfoot{\normalfont\small{\thepage}}
\def\@evenfoot{\normalfont\small{\thepage}}

,

but the page number does not appear on the first page. Also, the page number is aligned to the left.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Not a good idea. Unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Such settings are usually done by packages specially made for this purpose.

• fancyhdr
• titleps

And actually \pagestyle{plain} should already do what you want.
