In LaTeX, you can alter the appearance of pages using the \pagestyle
command. Unlike the \thispagestyle
command demonstrated in the previous post, which only affects the current page, \pagestyle
changes the appearance for all pages.
There are four possible settings for pagestyle:
\pagestyle{plain}
: Displays the page number at the bottom center of each page.\pagestyle{empty}
: Removes both header and footer (and hence, no page numbers).\pagestyle{headings}
: Displays a header with the page number and section name (depending on the document class and whether oneside or twoside is used, the appearance may vary).\pagestyle{myheadings}
: In oneside mode, inserts the text on the left side and the page number on the right side of the header using \markright{Text}. In twoside mode, on even-numbered pages, the header on the left displays the page number, and on the right, the content of {Left}. On odd-numbered pages, the header on the left displays the content of {Right}, and on the right, the page number.These settings allow you to customize the appearance of headers and footers according to your document's requirements.
