[Tex/LaTex] Table of contents with page style empty

header-footertable of contents

How can I make produce a table of contents by \tableofcontents with page style empty?
It doesn't work with \thispagestyle{empty} or \pagestyle{empty}.

Best Answer

You could use this in your preamble to change the first (otherwise commonly plain) TOC page to empty style:

\AtBeginDocument{\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}}

The other pages behave like expected if you use \pagestyle{empty} like you firstly did. So your document may look like

\documentclass{book}
\AtBeginDocument{\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}} 
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\tableofcontents
\cleardoublepage
\pagestyle{headings}
...

The table of contents includes sections only. Add \section{Something} before your slide to see something in the table of contents:

\section{Section 1}
\begin{frame} \frametitle{slide1}
slide 1
\end{frame}

\section{Section 2}

[Tex/LaTex] How to start document with empty page followed by table of contents

As per my original comment, the book class always wants to put the contents page on an odd page number, since in a book, that is on the right-hand page. Thus, when skipping a page, the book class will want to skip an extra page to get to an odd page. You can fool it by fudging the page number.

\documentclass[a4paper]{book}
\begin{document}
\setcounter{page}{0}
    \thispagestyle{empty}
    \tableofcontents
    ...
\end{document}

p.s. This will put the Contents on a page numbered as 1, even though it is the second page of the document.
