I'm happy with Plain TeX's page-numbering format, except that I want to turn it off for the first few pages of my book. I can do this with the \nopagenumbers
macro, but is there a macro with the opposite effect, to make the page numbers reappear later? Or do I have to manually re-establish the default footer?
