Page numbers in LLNCS style

Question

Hi, I'm using the LLNCS layout for a latex paper. The page numbers are suppressed by default. How can I turn them on for drafts?

Answer 1

I took a quick look at the .cls file for this layout. it calls all the page styles as "empty"

you may want to try

\pagestyle{plain}

or

\pagestyle{fancy}

in your preamble. I didn't check to see if that worked, but the .cls loads a two sided article class...

Answer 2

Using \pagestyle{fancy} only works if you also use the package fancyhdr, otherwise it won't compile. The simplest way to get page numbers is to use

\pagestyle{headings} 

but note that you will only see page numbers starting on the second page. Here's a complete sample document. Just add enough content to make two pages worth

\documentclass{llncs}
\pagestyle{headings}
\begin{document}
\title{Sample title}
\author{Some Author}
\maketitle

Content goes here.

\end{document}
