Bug#277327: tetex-bin: In latex, \maketitle causes page number to be inserted even in empty pagestyle
Hello,
Thanks for your help! The \thispagestyle{empty} thing works a treat!

I used:
---
\pagenumbering{Alph}
\setcounter{page}{0}
---
This is very crude though.

I've never heard of this book, so no, it is not sufficient (sorry.)
The only decumentation I've read is the "lshort" book and the
tetex-doc reference.

Again, this does not satisfy me, because I had to submit this bug
report to find out. The fact that a book on LaTeX explains this does
not help me, because I don't use it enough to justify reading a whole
book on this (a law student has lots of other reading to do).
What I would like to see is a note in the tetex-doc reference,
probably at the bottom of the \maketitle section (ltx-263.html),
pointing out this 'feature'.
Sorry if I sound a bit nasty, I've just woken up and am still half asleep :-S
