Page Layout ⇒ Only odd numbers on page numbering

[PeSoberbo]

I'm working on my thesis and having some page numbering troubles. In the ToC page numbering (two pages), I need just odd numbers. The problem is that when I call \tableofcontents, I can't manipulate the pages individually, so I can't call \setcounter. I'm wondering if its possible to fill the between ToC pages with blank pages, or if its possible to have a counter that simply uses just odd numbers.

Are you sure you don't just want something like the openright option to the document class (which says, "Only open new chapters on right-hand pages")? I can't think of another reason you would literally want page numbers only on odd-numbered pages.

If you truly do want page numbers every other page, try using TeX's \ifodd primitive, like so:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\renewcommand\thepage{\ifodd\value{page}\arabic{page}\fi}
