How to Move Page Numbers to the Right Bottom Corner in Quarto?

[stevefatz95]

Description

Hi Quarto Community,

I'm currently working on a document and I would like to customize the placement of the page numbers. By default, the page numbers are centered at the bottom of the page, but I want to move them to the right bottom corner instead.

Could anyone guide me on how to achieve this in Quarto? Any specific YAML settings or LaTeX configurations that I need to adjust would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,

Stefano

Hi everyone,

For those reading this thread, here is the solution.

Here is the YAML configuration to align the page number to the bottom right in Quarto:

header-includes:
  - \usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}
  - \usepackage{lipsum} % only for showing some sample text
  - \clearpairofpagestyles% remove all default elements from page styles scrheadings
                          % and plain.scrheadings
  - \ofoot*{\pagemark}% add pagination to the outer part of the page footer
  - \cfoot{}% clear the center part of the page footer

This configuration will help align the page number to the bottom right of the page.

You might want to use include-in-header instead of the Pandoc YAML option.

format:
  pdf:
    include-in-header:
      - text: |
          \usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}
          \usepackage{lipsum} % only for showing some sample text
          \clearpairofpagestyles% remove all default elements from page styles scrheadings and plain.scrheadings
          \ofoot*{\pagemark}% add pagination to the outer part of the page footer
          \cfoot{}% clear the center part of the page footer
