I have a "template" that vim automatically inserts into a new ".tex"
buffer. It looks roughly like this (it actually has more boilerplate
in it, and a lot of stuff I just want available but usually delete) :
\documentclass[dvips,12pt,letterpaper]{article}
% block style alignment with manual indentation possible
\newlength{\DSHindent} \setlength{\DSHindent}{\parindent}
\newcommand{\Nest}[1]{\\ \mbox{\hspace{#1\DSHindent}}}
\setlength{\parindent}{0in}
\setlength{\parskip}{9pt}
%\pagestyle{empty} % no page numbers
\begin{document}
\title{*title*}
\author{Derrick Hudson}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty} % no number on the title page
\cleardoublepage
\end{document}
As you can see, I explicitly set \thispagestyle{empty} on the title
page (page 1) and then uncomment the \pagestyle{empty} line in the
preamble if I really don't want page numbers.
I don't know why the page number is still put on the first page, but
explicitly avoiding it works.
