I'm writing a thesis using two-sided Book style, and in the frontmatter I would like to either be able to enter the page numbers on the pages manually or to alter the page counts to not count blank pages in the front matter.
To specify:
- frontpage (no number) – no probem
- blank
- Project description (i) – bo problem, i set count to 1
- blank
- Preface (ii) – but here it enter iii as the blank page counts.
… ect.
how do i fix this?
And please don't suggest changing style, as this is the last alterations of a 120 page thesis.
Hope you can help, and thank you for taking the time!
code sample:
\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt, twoside]{Thesis} % Use the "Thesis" style, based on the ECS Thesis style by Steve Gunn
\graphicspath{Figures/} % Location of the graphics files (set up for graphics to be in PDF format)
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{titlesec} %/Emilie. For fine titler
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{}{0pt}{\Huge\thechapter.\hskip0.5em}
\titleformat{name=\chapter,numberless}[display]
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{}{0pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\chapter} {0pt}{0pt}{40pt}
\titlespacing*{name=\chapter,numberless} {0pt}{0pt}{40pt}

Here's how I'd do it with the
bookclass:The important thing is not modifying the value of the
pagecounter, or the setting of pages would be spoiled.I checked it also with
\documentclass{Thesis}. Here's a picture of the Table of Contents page:
