Page Numbering on Chapter Pages

Post by lnsam22 »

Hi LatexF,

I'm using the 'book' project type and have used the 'myheadings' command to put the numbering on the upper right side of the page. 'book' seems to have a default whereby the numbering remains at the bottom middle for pages where each chapter begins. does anyone know how to force this to not be so?

lnsamm22 thanks in advance

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Page Numbering on Chapter Pages

A very often discussed issue (about a thousand times). Use a package like fancyhdr or titlesec to redefine the »plain« page style. But this will supersede your »myheadings« page style. The Forum Search for sure yields appropriate solutions.

The chapter macro defined by the book class includes \thispagestyle{plain}. You could redefine the plain style, but if you load titlesec you can use \assignpagestyle{\chapter}{whatever} to make it use something else.
