How do I eliminate the page numbers in the footer of the "Contents" pages

[Mark_Hilton]

Apologies for leaving this so long before answering… away for Christmas and New Year.

I am coming back to think about this. There is a new thread on basically the same question:

Switch for roman/arabic page numbering in template file

That might be a matter of taste, but I vote for keeping it simple: no stateful page numbering, because you need to continue making the same change in outline and page references and so on. What if you design the frontmatter and mainmatter (and backmatter?) functions so that they all can be used cumulatively (they overwrite each other’s settings), then it could look like this: #show: frontmatter = Preface #show: mainmatter = Heading More stuff here #show: backmatter = Appendix

So I’ll follow that and see how @bluss’ suggestion is implemented to see If I can fit it into my code, while working out how to create a minimal example (the project in question is ca 2000 lines long with 150 lines of scripting at the beginning of main.typ before the “chapter” text).

I’ll come back to this.
