Page Layout ⇒ How to force table of contents to not show pages before it?

[lukaszskowron96]

Hi,

So basically the subject summarises what I want to do.

My document comprises of:

1st page: title page (no page number)
2nd page: abstract (i)
3rd page: acknowledgements (ii)
4th page: table of contents (iii)
5th page: document starts (1)

I want my arabic numbering to start from page 5(I know how to do that) and I want table of contents to be showing everything from 5th page only.

Here is the code I am using:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[toc=sectionentrywithdots,a4paper,11pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing

\usepackage[a4paper, left=20mm, right=20mm, top=20mm]{geometry}

\usepackage{pdfpages}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\rhead{ }
\lhead{ }
\thispagestyle{empty}

\pagenumbering{roman}
\setcounter{page}{1}

\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{phv}
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv}

\usepackage[margin=0pt,font=normalsize]{subcaption}

\counterwithin{figure}{section}

\begin{document} 

\setcounter{page}{0}

Cover Page

\newpage
\lhead{Abstract}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract}
Abstract

\newpage
\lhead{Acknowledgements}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Acknowledgements}
Acknowledgements

\newpage
\lhead{Contents}
\addtocontents{toc}{~\hfill\textbf{Page}\par}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Contents}
\makeatletter
\@starttoc{toc}
\makeatother
\clearpage

\newpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\lhead{Chapter 1: Introduction}
\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Introduction}
Introduction

\section{Chapter 2}

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{References}

 \end{document}

I actually sorted it out.

I put:

\usepackage{lipsum}

in the preamble and then after \begin{document}

\pagenumbering{gobble}

Also had to delete all:

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{...}

I hope somebody finds this helpful!
