[SOLVED] page numbering in LaTeX

edgjerp · 09-24-2010, 04:05 AM

I am working on a literature project, and my school rules say to put the abstract in twice, both in Norwegian and English.

I have gotten LaTeX to accept this, but the page numbering is not good. it seems that I get this order (page numbers in ()

titlepage
Norwegian abstract(I)
blank page (II)
English abstract(I)
blank page (II)
foreword(I)
toc(II)

then everything works fine
introduction(1)
etc.

will I have to manually set the counter for each part of the preface to get a continuous count? Using report class

This may be helpful.

Quote:

\roman, \Roman

\roman{counter} \Roman{counter}

This command causes the value of the counter to be printed in roman numerals. The \roman command causes lower case roman numerals, i.e., i, ii, iii..., while the \Roman command causes upper case roman numerals, i.e., I, II, III...

that did nothing, and all page numbers were shown in arabic. I use \pagenumbering{roman}. I got around the problem using \addtocounter{page}{2} after the first abstract. that seems to have solved the problem. I wanted to do this automagically, but now manual works. I also no longer use the abstract environment twice; for the second version av the avstract, I use \chapter*{Abstract} (and \addcontentsline to get it in the toc)
