MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Empty Header for Index Start Page

[ghss]

Hello,

on the first page of the index, I'm getting "Index" as chapter name as well as a small "Index" in the top right of the page (see attached figure). I want this header from next page but not on the starting page of Index. Where am I making a mistake?

Does issuing \thispagestyle{empty} or \thispagestyle{plain} before \printindex help?

If not, you may have to redefine the \printindex command (or use a package that does so) to issue similar commands after \clearpage

Hello,
Thanks.
All this are not working.

My code is

Code: Select all

%\cleardoublepage
\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\indexname}
%\markboth{Index}{Index}
\thispagestyle{plain}
%\thispagestyle{empty}
\printindex

And I tried all commented ones also.

I'm going to need more information to find out what you're doing. Please post a minimal working example.

You may take a look at the imakeidx package. But in general you should follow the advice of kaiserkarl13 regarding the MWE.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hello,
the code is given below. I think there is some problem in my Header definition.

\makeindex
\begin{document}

\chapter{Falan}
This this something "Falan".
Falan is synonym of "Foo" \index{Falan}.


\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\indexname}
\printindex

\end{document}

The problem is that the fancy page style is defining \@mkboth (called by \theindex), which marks both pages. You need to change that somehow. I don't think redefining it by brute force (e.g. \renewcommand{\@mkboth}[2]{} inside \makeatletter will do what you want.

See if there's an option you can use for the fancyhdr package that redefines the "plain" style so it doesn't mark anything in the header.
