After translating in pdflatex
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\pagestyle{empty} % no page number
\begin{document}
\title{Article name}
\author{Author}
\maketitle
\end{document}
the first page is numbered.
How do I remove the numbering? Or is there another tool for having no page numbers?
Best Answer
In
artcile.cls
without thetitlepage
option, the definition of\maketitle
containsYou can discover this by issuing
\show\maketitle
and looking the.log
file, but the output is quite long.This means that either you need to change the
plain
layout, or much simpler, you need to issue\thispagestyle{empty}
after\maketitle
has had effect, but before the page ends. In your example, the latter is sufficient.If you had used the
titlepage
option then there would have been no page number.Note that other places where
\thispagestyle{plain}
inarticle.cls
is issued is on the first page of an index if you have one.See Page number on Index page for defining the
plain
page style.
