I am just in the last stages of sorting out a book for my publishers. The main problems are with page numbering, and ToC.
The publishers require:
- Table of contents (numbered with Roman numerals)
- a blank page (unnumbered)
- the preface (start numbering again)
- a blank page (unnumbered)
- start of main matter (numbered with arabic numerals)
What I have done is:
\tableofcontents
\pagestyle{empty}
\newpage\mbox{}\newpage
\pagestyle{headings}
\include{ch_preface}
However, what happens is that the last page of the ToC is not numbered, nor is the first page of the preface. On the other hand, the blank page between the ToC and the preface is numbered. Can anyone advise me?
One other problem is that appendices are to appear in the ToC as
Appendix A This is the first Appendix A.1 etc
That is, the word "Appendix" must appear before the appendix roman numeral. What is the canonical way to achieve this?
The last ToC problem is that the publishers want a row of dots in the ToC for the "Bibliography" and "Index", even though these are treated by LaTeX as being chapter headings, rather than sections. Again, how do I achieve this?
\pagestyle{empty}
changes the pagestyle from the current page on. You are probably looking for\newpage\mbox{}\thispagestyle{empty}\newpage
