[SOLVED] Page numbering absent

Post by pincadilly »

Hi everyone,
I'm struggling with page numbering in my document. Here's an example of my code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[article,11pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,a4paper,tmargin=15mm,bmargin=15mm,lmargin=15mm,rmargin=15mm}

\usepackage{tgbonum}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}

\pagestyle{plain}
\pagenumbering{arabic}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\title{Example}
\author{Bumblebee}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\section{Missing numbering is a nightmare}
As you can see there's no numbering!!

\end{document}
As far as I understood, the commands \pagestyle{plain} and \pagenumbering{arabic} should do the job (i.e. showing page numbering in the footer), but as you can see if you execute the code, no numbering actually appears. Any idea? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!

The page number is there, it's just too low. You can see it if you set a higher value to the bottom margin.

Hi guys,
I found the solution: I simply added [includefoot] to the \usepackage{geometry} command, and now it works as I wanted :)

Ok, so that adjusted the margin. Btw. it's actually a very small margin, and especially in books text areas and margins follow certain conventions. For example, an inner margin is half of an outer margin (but plus binding correction), since the both inner margins double up in an open book.
