Start Page Numbers after the TOC

By default, Paligo starts the page numbering on the first page of the TOC (table of contents). The page numbers then continue throughout the rest of the document. If you prefer, you can set Paligo to start the page numbering after the TOC, so that only the content pages are numbered.

To set page numbering to start after the TOC:

  1. Select Layout in the top menu.

    Paligo editor. The Layout option in the header menu is highlighted.

    Paligo displays a list of Layouts. The list is empty if there are no custom Layouts in your Paligo instance.

  2. Select the Layout you want to update or Create a Layout.

    Tip

    You can copy the URL of the Layout Editor and paste it into a new tab in your browser. This can be useful if you frequently switch between your Paligo content and the Layout settings.

  3. Select General and choose Page.

  4. Use the Start page counter from the first body page setting to control where the page numbering begins.

    Choose either:

    • Yes

      Paligo will begin the page numbers on the first body page, after the table of contents.

    • No

      Paligo will begin the page numbers on the first page of the table of contents. No is the default setting.

  5. Select Save.
