Page Layout ⇒ Roman Page Numbering

[cate]

Hello,

I'm using LyX to write my thesis and I'd like to put the first part with the Acknowledgments, Abstract, LoF and LoT with Roman numeration and then starting with the normal one from the chapter number 1. And in the index I'd like to appear everything.

How can I do it?


Thanks
Caterina

Hi Caterina,

Check the LyX FAQ for how to change page-numbering to roman and back:
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Numbering#frontmatter

You'll have to manually add these to the table of contents using:

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{<index>}{<level>}{<text>}

Here is a MWE to get the page-numbering right for the abstract and to it to the TOC. The other parts are done similarly.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{roman} % change to roman

\chapter*{\centering Abstract}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract} % adds Abstract to TOC
\blindtext

\tableofcontents
\clearpage % correct page number for TOC

\pagenumbering{arabic} % change to arabic
\chapter{First}
\end{document}
