<h3><code>\pagestyle{empty}</code> on first page in LaTeX</h3>
<p>If you use <code>\</code><code>pagestyle{empty}</code>, but the first page is numbered
anyway, you are probably using the <code>\</code><code>maketitle</code> command too. The
behaviour is not a bug but a feature. The standard LaTeX classes are
written so that initial pages (pages containing a <code>\</code><code>maketitle</code>,
<code>\</code><code>part</code>, or <code>\</code><code>chapter</code>) have a different page style from the rest
of the document; to achieve this, the commands internally issue
<code>\</code><code>thispagestyle{plain}</code>. This is usually not acceptable
behaviour if the surrounding page style is 'empty'.
<p>Possible workarounds include:
<ul>
<li> Put <code>\</code><code>thispagestyle{empty</code>} immediately after the
<code>\</code><code>maketitle</code> command, with no blank line between them.
<li> Use the <i>fancyhdr</i> or <i>scrpage2</i> packages, which
allow you to customise the style for initial pages independently of
that for body pages.
<li> If you are using either the <i>memoir</i> class or a
<i>KOMA-script</i> class, use the techniques outlined for them in
"<a href="FAQ-nopageno.html">no page numbers</a>".
</ul>
