General ⇒ no page number in table of contents

[Dott_JJ]

Hi Stefan,

thank you very much for your answer! Unfortunately I gave you a misleading explanation of my problem: I was referring to the bottompage numbering of the TOC! Usually in the standard text I solve the problem with the

\pagestyle{empty}

syntax but in the case of TOC it doesn't work. I then tried with the command line you suggested

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}

and it works indeed but only for the bottompage numbering of the first two pages (of four) of the TOC. I would like, if possible, to remove the bottompage numbering for all the four pages of the TOC.

Sorry for the misunderstanding,

Giacomo

Hi Giacomo,

so use both:

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{empty}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\tableofcontents

\pagestyle cares for all pages except the first one, the first one has usually plain page style, as chapter starting pages, \thispagestyle cares for this first page.

Hi Stefan,

I tried the code you suggested me but it did not work... I'm writing here my entire code, I'm likely to be doing something wrong without realizing:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,openright]{book}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=1in,twoside,nohead]{geometry}
\geometry{lmargin=1.5in}
%(...) Other packages here

\onehalfspacing %Serve per interlinea 1.5

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\part{%
  \if@openright
    \cleardoublepage
  \else
    \clearpage
  \fi
  \thispagestyle{empty}%
  \if@twocolumn
    \onecolumn
    \@tempswatrue
  \else
    \@tempswafalse
  \fi
  \null\vfil
  \secdef\@part\@spart}
\makeatother

\pagestyle{empty} \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
%Does not work!

\tableofcontents

\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand\headrulewidth{0pt}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection\ #1}}
\fancyhead{} \fancyfoot{} \fancyfoot[CO,CE]{\bfseries\thepage}
\frontmatter

\include{Intro}

\mainmatter

%...etc

Thank you very much,

Giacomo

In that code part \pagestyle{fancy} affects the last page of the table of contents. Begin a new page before you change the pagestyle, such as

Code: Select all

\tableofcontents
\cleardoublepage
\pagestyle{fancy}

If that doesn't work for you, post a compilable example which produces the undesired numbering, as the code above cannot be tested, when I make it testable it works fine after \cleardoublepage or \clearpage between \tableofcontents and \pagestyle{fancy}.

Hi Stefan!

With the addition of \cleardoublepage everything worked perfectly. Thank you very much for your suggestions! Best regards,

Giacomo
