LyX ⇒ Numbering first pages

[Greenberet]

Hi Guys ;

I wrote my thesis in LyX, and it was very nice , but I need to alter something in it , and I don't know how ??

How could I add my first pages with roman numbers pages as follows :

Committee Decision
Dedication
Acknowledgment
List of contents
Abstract
Introduction

---------

Also , I need to know how to add in the last of table of contents the line :

Abstract in Indian

I'm waiting for answer as soon as possible .


Thank you all

Hi,

you could use \pagenumbering:

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{roman}
...
Committee Decision
Dedication
Acknowledgment 
...
\pagenumbering{arabic}

To add a line to the table of contents you could use \addcontentsline or \addtocontents.

Those LaTeX-macros mentioned above can be used with ERT in LyX.

Hi ;

Sorry Stefan , I'm not familiar with Latex code , what I should put in ERT to give me what I need and where exactly


thank you

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Try

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{roman}

in ERT at the beginning of your LyX document, test it to see the effect.
Alternatively you could put this line into the document preamble, in the document settings you can change the preamble of your document.

Can I use

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{none}

in order to have no page numbering on the first page?

Hi amitk,

no, see \pagenumbering help, but you could use \thispagestyle or \pagestyle.

This didn't work. The \pagestyle{empty} just change the headings, not the numbering, which continue to appear in the same manner.
