page-numbering
I'm here with weird stuff again.
How can i continue numbering while changing numbering style to Arabic from Roman? For example let's assume I have total of 7 pages and I want to number the first 3 of them as : i,ii,iii; then I change back to Arabic again and continue counting as 4,5,6,7.
You shouldn't give repeated \pagenumbering{roman} commands: LaTeX just knows the page numbers.
Be careful to issue the \addcontentsline command at the right time, that is, after a new page has been started.
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\begin{document}
\cleardoublepage % if some contents comes before
\pagenumbering{roman}\setcounter{page}{3}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Contents}
\tableofcontents
\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Summary}
\chapter*{Summary}
\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listfigurename}
\listoffigures
\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listtablename}
\listoftables
\cleardoublepage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\def\one{%
\chapter{Something}
\section{A}
some text
\section{A}
some text
\begin{figure}
\caption{Whatever}
\end{figure}
\section{A}
some text
\begin{table}
\caption{Whatever}
\end{table}
}
\def\many{\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one}
\many % make as much contents as to produce three pages in the toc
\end{document}
You can vastly simplify the input by using the tocbibind package and the book class.
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,oneside]{book}
\usepackage{tocbibind}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\pagestyle{plain} % this is what report uses
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\setcounter{page}{3}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Summary}
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\mainmatter
\def\one{%
\chapter{Something}
\section{A}
some text
\section{A}
some text
\begin{figure}
\caption{Whatever}
\end{figure}
\section{A}
some text
\begin{table}
\caption{Whatever}
\end{table}
}
\def\many{\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one\one}
\many
\end{document}

After
\begin{document}(or in the document preamble), issueOn the page where you want it to change to Arabic numbering, use
The above just modifies the page number/counter printing mechanism. In contrast, using
\pagenumbering{arabic}will change the numbering to Arabic but also resets the page counter.
