Empty or fancy Page Style for first Page of Section

Post by offroad »

Hi all

I've been trying to get the first page of a section (say, table of contents or bibliography) empty but it won't work because they are not chapters, so the setting \thispagestyle{empty} starts on the next page. The same thing happens when the section is set to fancy, it will work from page 2 to the end of the section.

I guess the same will happen to nomenclature etc, it will apply LaTeX default settings, not mine.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Any help will be very much appreciated

Empty or fancy Page Style for first Page of Section

You could use \clearpage or \cleardoublepage before \thispagestyle{empty} and that section. Or write it directly to the external file, such as

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\addtocontents{lot}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
at the beginning of the document.

Well, it worked... but the references first page is still set to latex default, how do I set it 'fancy'?

Many thanks
