I am rendering a pdf book with bookdown and have a manual front page created by frontpage.tex. In my index.Rmd file, i specify the output in the YAML like this:
output:
bookdown::pdf_book:
citation_package: natbib
includes:
before_body: frontpage.tex
in_header: preamble.tex
I would, however, like to have multiple pages before the Table of Contents, such as the quote page, acknowledgements etc. The quote page should not include any header, just the quote itself.
Is this possible by extending the frontpage.tex to multiple pages?
The frontpage.tex looks like this:
\begin{titlepage}
\begin{center}
\Huge
\textbf{Title}
\vspace{0.5cm}
\LARGE
\textbf{Subtitle}
\end{center}
\end{titlepage}
I tried to add \newpage and continue on a new blank page, then added another \vspace, but the text appears at the top of the page no matter what i do.
You could simply add multiple titlepage environments into the frontpage.tex file, e.g.
{
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{titlepage}
\begin{center}
\Huge
\textbf{Title}
\vspace{0.5cm}
\LARGE
\textbf{Subtitle}
\end{center}
\end{titlepage}
\begin{titlepage}
\begin{center}
\Huge
\textbf{AnotherTitle}
\vspace{0.5cm}
\LARGE
\textbf{Subtitle}
\end{center}
\end{titlepage}
}

In my table of contents, the abstract and the table of contents have the same page number. The numbering of the summary is correct as II, but the table of contents must be III. However, I don't understand where the error is or why Overleaf doesn't recognize that my table of contents continues at III. Can someone please give me some advice?
Attached you can see a picture of how it looks.
Here is my code snippet
\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{scrhack}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\tableofcontents
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\input{02_abstract}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Table of Contents}
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter
\Blinddocument
\backmatter
\Blinddocument
\end{document}
Add \newpage in between Abstract block.
\newpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\input{02_abstract}
\newpage
Page numbers show correctly up in the table of contents, but not on the pages. How can I make LaTex display them on the pages in the document?
I have tried changing the documentclass from report to article and adding the hyperref package.
\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[top=1in, bottom=1in, left=1in, right=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[usenames, dvipsnames]{color}
\usepackage{titling}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\setlength{\droptitle}{-5em}
\setlength{\parindent}{1cm}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\newpage
\tableofcontents
\thispagestyle{empty}
\newpage
\doublespacing
\setcounter{page}{1}
I do get page numbers in this minimal example, both for documentclass article as report:
\documentclass{report}
% \documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{one}
\newpage
\section{two}
\newpage
\section{three}
\newpage
\end{document}
You may not get a page number because you explicitly say so using \thispagestyle{empty}. Report may also define the first page (of a chapter) as a page without regular head and foot, and hence also without number.
Hyperref has nothing to do with (printed) page numbers.
I would like to have a table of content with numbering identical to the ones in text. So, in text each section/subsection/subsubsection is numerated as '1.' or '1.1.' or '1.1.1.'. However my table of content is not updating it, so it shows '1' or '1.1'.
I was following answer to this topic: https://superuser.com/questions/811779/how-to-add-a-dot-for-section-subsection-numbering-in-tex
So I am using 'secdot' package. I have tried using
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\arabic{chapter}.}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\thechapter\arabic{section}.}
but I keep getting '\the chapter undefined', 'No counter chapter defined' or 'Missing number, treated as zero' errors.
I would appreciate any tips on what's wrong.

Your current setup is confusing. For example,
\makeatletter
\def\#seccntformat#1{%
\expandafter\ifx\csname c##1\endcsname\c#section\else
\csname the#1\endcsname\quad
\fi}
\makeatother
removes the setting of any \section number. And mixing this with the use of secdot seems problematic.
The easiest way to achieve dots after sectional unit numbers within your text as well as the ToC is to adjust the representation of the respective counters:
\documentclass{article}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}.}
\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\thesection\arabic{subsection}.}
\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\thesubsection\arabic{subsubsection}.}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{Introduction}
\end{document}
This solution is sufficient, but will also affect \references. For example \ref{sec:introduction} would return 1. which may look odd in the middle of a sentence: ... from section~\ref{sec:introduction} we can see ....
If you don't want periods ending your \references, you can use
\usepackage{secdot}% Adds . after sectional unit numbers
\usepackage{etoolbox}
% \patchcmd{<cmd>}{<search>}{<replace>}{<success>}{<failure>}
\patchcmd{\numberline}{\hfil}{.\hfil}{}{}
You're already familiar with what secdot does. The patch to \numberline is thanks to etoolbox which changes the default definition
\def\numberline#1{\hb#xt#\#tempdima{#1\hfil}}
into
\def\numberline#1{\hb#xt#\#tempdima{#1.\hfil}}
effectively inserting an ending-period as part of the number that is printed within the ToC. Note that this will also affect how figures/tables are displayed within the LoF/LoT. However, one can change that using scoping:
\begingroup
% The following patch will only affect entries in the ToC
\patchcmd{\numberline}{\hfil}{.\hfil}{}{}
\tableofcontents
\endgroup

I am writing my thesis in Latex, document class: report. I have got front matter containing of abstract, acknowledgement and so on.
I want to add header only to my main matter which starts with my first chapter:Introduction. I want the header to be the chapter number without the word "chapter" and the chapter title next to it. I also want the page number to appear in the centre on the bottom of the page in all pages of the main matter.
I don't want any header or line in any page of my front matter.
Can you please guide me? Thanks
Here it is the sample code that I am applying.
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,titlepage]{report}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{colordvi}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{theorem}
\usepackage{lineno}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage [toc,page]{appendix}
\usepackage{framed}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\usepackage[left=1.5in,top=2in,right=1in,bottom=2in]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\title{xxx}
\author{xxx}
\date{xxx}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}
% here it comes my front matter for example:
\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\chapter*{Abstract}
ABSTRACT CONTENTS
%then:
\clearpage
\cleardoublepage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
% here it starts my main matter:
\chapter{Introduction} %first chapter
\chapter{First Esssay in XXX} %second chapter
\end{document}
You have a number of options to set headers in a document. The most frequently-used package is fancyhdr.
First of all, you need to remove the word Chapter from the regular chapter mark. For this, add
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
%\newcommand{\updatechaptermark}{%
\appto\ps#fancy{%
\patchcmd{\chaptermark}% <cmd>
{\#chapapp\ }{}% <search><replace>
{}{}% <success><failure>
}%}
\makeatother
to your preamble. The above strips out \#chapapp\ (note the space) from \chaptermark as part of the call to \pagestyle{fancy}. That's required as fancyhdr may update \chaptermark upon calling \pagestyle{fancy}.
Second, you need to set the headers/footers. Here's a setting that yields what you're after:
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{}% Clear header/footer
\fancyhead[C]{\leftmark}% Chapter mark
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}% Footer contains the page number
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{.4pt}% Header rule width
The above sets the header as \leftmark, which contains the \chaptermark setting (since \chaptermark actually issues \markboth{<leftmark>}{<rightmark>} with an empty <rightmark>).
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr,lipsum}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
%\newcommand{\updatechaptermark}{%
\appto\ps#fancy{%
\patchcmd{\chaptermark}% <cmd>
{\#chapapp\ }{}% <search><replace>
{}{}% <success><failure>
}%}
\makeatother
\fancyhf{}% Clear header/footer
\fancyhead[C]{\leftmark}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{.4pt}
\begin{document}
%\frontmatter
\pagenumbering{roman}
\title{xxx}
\author{xxx}
\date{xxx}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}
% here it comes my front matter for example:
\cleardoublepage
\tableofcontents
\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}%
\chapter*{Abstract} \lipsum[1]
\cleardoublepage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\chapter{Introduction} \lipsum[1-50] % first chapter
\chapter{Methodology} \lipsum[1-50] % second chapter
\chapter{Conclusion} \lipsum[1-50] % last chapter
\end{document}
Note that \chapters are set by default using the plain style. If you wish this to be different, you'll have to redefine the plain page style.
You can achieve the same output using a different header/footer package like titleps.
I'm trying to vertically center a title on a custom-sized page with latex. I've written the following code, but for some reason it doesn't center. Could someone please point me to what's wrong with it?
Thanks!
\documentclass{article}
\setlength{\pdfpagewidth}{88.184mm}
\setlength{\pdfpageheight}{113.854mm}
\usepackage[margin=0.5cm, paperwidth=88.184mm, paperheight=113.854mm]{geometry}
\title{[[title]]}
\date{[[date]]}
\author{[[author]]}
\begin{document}
\vspace{\fill}
\maketitle
\vspace{\fill}
\newpage
[[text]]
\end{document}
There are two small bugs in your code.
First, if you want the \vspace to work at the beginning or end of a page, you should use the starred version (\vspace*).
This would work, but \maketitle is a pretty complicated macro, and if used like in your example, it just puts the title at the second page. You can use the titlepage environment, which gives you much more command over how the title page looks like -- including the spacing. For example, you could use the following code:
\documentclass{article}
\setlength{\pdfpagewidth}{88.184mm}
\setlength{\pdfpageheight}{113.854mm}
\usepackage[margin=0.5cm, paperwidth=88.184mm, paperheight=113.854mm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\vspace*{\fill}
\begin{center}
{Huge [[title]]}\\[0.5cm]
{Large [[author}\\[0.4cm]
[[date]]
\end{center}
\vspace*{\fill}
\end{titlepage}
[[text]]
\end{document}
\null % Empty line
\nointerlineskip % No skip for prev line
\vfill
\let\snewpage \newpage
\let\newpage \relax
\maketitle
\let \newpage \snewpage
\vfill
\break % page break
If you want to make everything work even with \maketitle put your \vspace*{\fill} inside the first and the last attribute, exp:
\title{**\vspace*{\fill}**[[title]]}
\date{[[date]]}
\author{[[author]]**\vspace*{\fill}**[[}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\newpage
[[text]]
\end{document}
As in the answer by finrod, \maketitle is a pretty complicated macro, this is why I didn't feel like overwriting it myself (\renewcommand\maketitle{...). Nevertheless, copying, pasting and editing lines 170-201 of article.cls documentclass, I could add a new one to customize (\newcommand\mymaketitle{...) as follows:
\documentclass{article}
\setlength{\pdfpagewidth}{88.184mm}
\setlength{\pdfpageheight}{113.854mm}
\usepackage[margin=0.5cm, paperwidth=88.184mm, paperheight=113.854mm]{geometry}
\title{Title}
\date{Date}
\author{Author}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\mymaketitle{%
\begin{titlepage}
\null\vfil\vskip 40\p#
\begin{center}
{\LARGE \#title \par}
\vskip 2.5em
{\large \lineskip .75em \#author \par}
\vskip 1.5em
{\large \#date \par}
\end{center}\par
\#thanks
\vfil\null
\end{titlepage}
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\mymaketitle
Text
\end{document}
The output:
