+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label emptynum</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>I asked for &ldquo;empty&rdquo;, but the page is numbered</h3>
+<p/>If you use <code>\</code><code>pagestyle{empty}</code> and you find some pages are
+numbered anyway, you are probably encountering one of the style
+decisions built into the standard LaTeX classes: that certain
+special pages should always appear with <code>\</code><code>pagestyle{plain}</code>,
+with a page number at the centre of the page foot. The special pages
+in question are those (in <i>article</i> class) containing a
+<code>\</code><code>maketitle</code>, or (in <i>book</i> and <i>report</i> classes)
+<code>\</code><code>chapter</code> or <code>\</code><code>part</code> commands.
+<p/>The simple solution is to reissue the page style <em>after</em> the
+command, with effect for a single page, as, for example (in
+<i>article</i>):
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\maketitle
+\thispagestyle{empty}
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+or (in <i>book</i> or <i>report</i>)
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\chapter{foo bar}
+\thispagestyle{empty}
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+A similar technique doesn&rsquo;t work for a <i>book</i> or <i>report</i>
+<code>\</code><code>part</code> command pages. For that, and for other detail, take look
+at &ldquo;<a href="FAQ-nopageno.html">getting rid of page numbers</a>&rdquo;.
