Page Layout ⇒ Page numbering before toc won't increment

[k290]

I've created an environment for an acknowledgements class. I want the abstract and acknowledgements pages to be in the toc. However, they are both being labeled page "i". The abstract should be page i and the acknowledgement page should be ii. setcounter doesnt help.

I have noticed the same problem occurs if you have two abstracts on separate pages. So I don't think there's a problem with my acknowledgement environment
Here is the minimal working example

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt]{report}

\makeatletter
\newcommand\ackname{Acknowledgements}
\if@titlepage
  \newenvironment{acknowledgements}{%
      \titlepage
      \null\vfil
      \@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
      \begin{center}%
        \bfseries \ackname
        \@endparpenalty\@M
      \end{center}}%
     {\par\vfil\null\endtitlepage}
\else
  \newenvironment{acknowledgements}{%
      \if@twocolumn
        \section*{\abstractname}%
      \else
        \small
        \begin{center}%
          {\bfseries \ackname\vspace{-.5em}\vspace{\z@}}%
        \end{center}%
        \quotation
      \fi}
      {\if@twocolumn\else\endquotation\fi}
\fi
\makeatother

\usepackage{hyperref}

\title{My Title}
\author{Matt}


\begin{document}

\maketitle

\pagenumbering{roman}

\newpage
\setcounter{page}{1}
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
The abstract!
\end{abstract}

\newpage
\setcounter{page}{2}
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Acknowledgements}
\begin{acknowledgements}
Thanks!
\end{acknowledgements}


\newpage
\setcounter{page}{3}
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Contents}
\tableofcontents
\end{document}

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

That's because you call \titlepage in your acknowledgements environment. A titlepage has a page number 1. Perhaps simply remove \titlepage and \endtitlepage. If you really would like to fix it like above by changing the page counter, you would get the desired effect if you would write \setcounter{page}{2} after \begin{acknowledgements}. But I don't recommend it.
