I'm trying to include a page number on my abstract page. Here is how I have it set up so far (cutting out some extra things):
\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[style=numeric]{biblatex}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{framed}
\usepackage{setspace}
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\title{The Title}
\author{The Name}
\maketitle
\setcounter{page}{2}
\begin{abstract}
\pagenumbering{roman}
Lorem Ipsum etc, etc.
\end{abstract}
This generates a document without page numbers on either the title or the abstract. I don't need to put one on the title, but is there a way I can force it to insert a page number for the abstract?
Thanks!
Edit for clarification: I needed to use roman numbering for all the intro sections (abstract, index, etc), then switch to arabic for the rest of the paper. I ended up with the following:
\begin{abstract}
\thispagestyle{plain}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\setcounter{page}{2}
\end{abstract}
Best Answer
Add
\thispagestyle{plain}
immediately after starting yourabstract
environment. (In thereport
class, at the begin of theabstract
environment,\titlepage
is called internally by default, which sets\thispagestyle{empty}
.)EDIT: If you want to switch to arabic page numbering for the rest of your paper, consider to use the
book
class instead ofreport
and to use its\frontmatter
and\mainmatter
commands. You may emulate the behaviour ofreport
with\documentclass[oneside]{book}
. (Note that thebook
class doesn't provide anabstract
environment; however, an unnumbered frontmatter chapter is quite suited for an abstract of a longer work.)
