Those for universities where theses involves different parts in different languages, possibly progressing in different directions, and which also have different numbering schemes for pages. In my alma mater the choice of numbering schemes for different parts is just a custom, not an official style, but it is common to choose different ones. Another reason for separate number schemes is footnotes in an (extended) abstract vs footnotes in the body of the thesis. The abstract, in a sense, doesn't "count", so its footnotes don't deserve numbers, just symbols; and those symbols may even restart every page. But in the body, footnotes are important, so they are counted over the whole body or every chapter. But I have not taken a survey of style guides to look for this being the case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
