Abstract
The rplain package redefines the plain pagestyle. The page numbers are now in
the lower right corner instead of being centered, like in this one-sided document. In
two-sided documents, the page numbers are in the lower left or right corner.
This package is obsolete!
This package was superseeded by the fancyhdr package [1] and therefore is no longer
supported. So please dont use rplain, just use fancyhdr instead:
The user interface
Type
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
\fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}}
\pagestyle{plain}
in the preamble of your document. (See also section 7 Redefining plain style in
fancyhdr.pdf.)
This
package has version number v1.0b, last revised 2006/01/29.

Main code
This macro was taken from report.cls (LATEX 2 94/06/01 patch level 3) and modified.
5 \renewcommand{\ps@plain}{%

\let\@mkboth\@gobbletwo
\let\@oddhead\@empty\let\@evenhead\@empty
\def\@evenfoot{\reset@font\rmfamily\thepage\hfil}%
\def\@oddfoot{\reset@font\rmfamily\hfil\thepage}}
Now we have to call \pagestyle{plain} (again), so that the above macro will be
used.
