I am writing my thesis using the "report" class and I am facing the common
problem of page numbering of the "front matter". My front matter includes
the title page, abstract and acknowledgements. Report class does not define
frontmatter and mainmatter, so I have to use a lot of /setcounter{page}{x}
to set the page numbers correctly. Moreover, I have to use
/thispagestyle{plain} to force numbering in the abstract and
acknowledgement. There is also two /addcontentsline. Currently, there are
still some errors due to these inclusions and I am still figuring out. It
seems that the specific placement of all these ERTs are vital.
My questions are:
1) Is there switches which will make this less painful?
2) Is there a better document class or modified report class that is better
suited for my need? I tried the book class, but there is no abstract and
acknowledgements this class.
