Page number on blank pages?

Question

For a document, I use the following setup:

\usepackage{scrextend}
\usepackage[automark]{scrpage2}

\renewcommand{\headfont}{\sffamily}

\clearscrheadfoot
\cfoot{\pagemark}

\setkomafont{pagenumber}{\normalfont\sffamily}
\renewcommand{\chapterpagestyle}{scrheadings}

\defpagestyle{std}{(0 pt, 0 pt){\headmark\hfill}{\hfill\headmark}{}(\textwidth,1 pt)}{(0 pt, 0 pt){\pagemark}{\hfill\pagemark}{}(0 pt, 0 pt)}

Basically, this works just fine for me. However, I have a small but very nettlesome problem that all blank pages (after the TOC), produced by the command openright for example, do not contain a page number. I was wondering if there is a simple way to solve this?

Answer 1

KOMA-Script class

I guess you are using a twosided KOMA-Script class. If that is true do not load the package scrextend. Instead use one the class option cleardoublepage=<page style>.

Example:

\documentclass[
  cleardoublepage=plain
]{scrbook}

\usepackage[automark,headsepline=1pt]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\setkomafont{pagehead}{\normalfont\sffamily}
\clearpairofpagestyles
\ohead{\headmark}
\ofoot*{\pagemark}

\usepackage{blindtext}% dummytext

\renewcommand{\chapterpagestyle}{scrheadings}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\blinddocument\Blindtext
\blinddocument\Blindtext
\end{document}

Other class

But if you are using a different class you can load scrextend with the option cleardoublepage=<page style>.

Example:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[
  cleardoublepage=plain
]{scrextend}

\usepackage[automark,headsepline=1pt]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\setkomafont{pagehead}{\normalfont\sffamily}
\clearpairofpagestyles
\ohead{\headmark}
\ofoot*{\pagemark}

\usepackage{blindtext}% dummytext

%\renewcommand{\chapterpagestyle}{scrheadings}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\blinddocument\Blindtext
\blinddocument\Blindtext
\end{document}
