Text Formatting ⇒ TOC - page count

[Dpoly]

Hello Community,

I write my master thesis with Lyx and I have a problem with the page count of the TOC. I use the installed thesis template from Lyx.

The problem is that I add my abstract before the table of contant and now I have two page i (roman page count). The aim is too have only one i and the TOC as ii/following page. I have tested the function:

Code: Select all

\setcounter{page}{2}

It doesn't worked... .

Is there a solution / more elegant way to count the pages in roman?
(I read many on google, but only with change the whole pre-latex code and I have no glue about it...)

Thanks,
Dpoly


P.s.: I'm big noob concers to Lyx/Latex so please explain it in simple words

EDIT: Is there a way to change the ii page counts in the big form I or II?

Hi Dpoly,

welcome to the board!

I have tested the function:

Code: Select all

\setcounter{page}{2}

You could try inserting this TeX code at the beginning of your document body, i.e. after the preamble:

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\refstepcounter{page}}

Alternatively

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\setcounter{page}{2}}

Is there a way to change the ii page counts in the big form I or II?

This can be done by

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{Roman}

Hi Stefan_K

thanks for the good answer,
but with the code:

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{Roman}

I can't change the small letters into big letters (aim: ii --> II)

the protect code worked fine, thanks
