I'm struggling with removing/suppressing the page number from pages with chapter headings.
When using \usepackage[pagestyles]{titlesec} and
\newpagestyle{mystylep}{
\setfoot{}{}{}}
the page number on pages with only text is suppressed, but still appears on pages with chapter headings.. The pagestyle is used fro the Preface and Problem Description, right before the Abstract..
for the main text i use:
\newpagestyle{mystyle}{
\sethead[][][\chaptertitle]{\chaptertitle}{}{}
\setheadrule{.4pt}
\setfoot{}{\thepage}{}}
and for the appendix:
\newpagestyle{mystylea}{
\setfoot{}{\thepage}{}
I only like to take away the page number on pages with chapter heading in mystylep pages..
EDIT:
\titleformat{\chapter}[block]
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{50pt}{40pt}
%Main
\newpagestyle{mystyle}{
\sethead[][][\chaptertitle]{\chaptertitle}{}{}
\setheadrule{.4pt}
\setfoot{}{\thepage}{}}
%App
\newpagestyle{mystylea}{
\setfoot{}{\thepage}{}}
%Pre
\newpagestyle{mystylep}{
\setfoot{}{}{}}
and:
\documentclass[pdftex,10pt,b5paper,twoside]{report}
\usepackage[lmargin=25mm,rmargin=25mm,tmargin=27mm,bmargin=30mm]{geometry}
\usepackage{hyperref}

plainpagestyle, if I am not misremembering... So you could redefine that, or renew the chapter command to use a different pagestyle – Seamus Jun 14 '11 at 10:23scrpage2and it works fine (I know that's not an answer to the question, just a suggestion). – ℝaphink Jun 14 '11 at 10:54scrpage2is an excellent suggestion, in general, although perhaps in this case the author has too much already invested in thetitlesecdefinitions... – Seamus Jun 14 '11 at 11:16
