LyX ⇒ Avoiding page number on first page of Index

[solarisfan]

Hello,

using Lyx with Springer's svmono package I'm trying to create an Index without placing the page number on first page - using

Code: Select all

\thispagestyle{empty}

does not work since makeindex creates an additional page and so the mentioned statement will have no effect

Any clou ?

My attempt to reproduce this failed (I saw no page numbers anywhere), but I was able to reproduce it with the report class and the article class. I found a copy of svmono.cls here, but as I mentioned, it doesn't put page numbers anywhere, at least in my example. However, the relevant command in that case would be the definition of the theindex environment. You should be able to insert your \pagestyle{empty} command into that, and it should work.

Example with the report class:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{theindex}
               {\if@twocolumn
                  \@restonecolfalse
                \else
                  \@restonecoltrue
                \fi
                \twocolumn[\@makeschapterhead{\indexname}]%
                \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\indexname}%
                        {\MakeUppercase\indexname}%
% the next line used to say \thispagestyle{plain}
                \thispagestyle{empty}\parindent\z@
                \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax
                \columnseprule \z@
                \columnsep 35\p@
                \let\item\@idxitem}
               {\if@restonecol\onecolumn\else\clearpage\fi}
\makeatother

You'll want to copy similar lines from svmono.cls or the equivalent and change the definition accordingly.

Hello carolus magnus 13 !

this works perfect placing it on linux in the shared class location of

Code: Select all

/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/springer/styles

it works for listoffigures as well:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\listoffigures{
 \chapter*{\listfigurename\thispagestyle{empty}    
      \@mkboth{\listfigurename}{\listfigurename}}%   
    \@starttoc{lof}%
    }
