[Tex/LaTex] \pagestyle{empty} on a specific number of pages

header-footertable of contents

I would like to remove the style of my report on my table of contents.

I formerly used \thispagestyle{empty} before \tableofcontents but it obviously works only for the first page of the table of contents.

Since my table of contents is now 3 pages, is there a way/options to make a \pagestyle{empty} for an amount of 3 pages only, and then go back with my early own style for the rest of my repport?

Please note that my created style includes headers/images/page number on top and on bottom of each page.

Best Answer

As you wrote the command \thispagestyle works only for one page. To manipulate the header/footer of more pages you have to work with \pagestyle. You can't limit the command \pagestyle to a specific number of pages. So you have to switch to you favorit page style after \tableofcontents.

You can do:

\pagestyle{empty}
\tableofcontents
\clearpage
\pagestyle{headings}

If you are working with a class which provides the level \chapter you have to do a little bit more as explained here: Why doesn't \pagestyle{empty} work on the first page of a chapter?
