How to numerate a page with table of contents?

Question

I make my diploma and want to end-to-end numbering of my document.

But I have an error with page with table of contents. For example:

1st page - title page

2nd page - Abstract (I manually fix it's number to 2)

3td page - Contents (I can't numerate it to 3, it stubbornly spelled 'i')

4th page - Intro and following text...

Can you please help me to numerate page with table of contents? Thank you))

I have the following code for beginning pages:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[noheader]{sleek}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
title page
\end{titlepage}
\newpage
\pagestyle{plain}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{2}
\begin{center}
\section{Abstract}
\end{center}
About purposes...
\newpage
\setcounter{page}{3}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\renewcommand\contentsname{Content}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\romantableofcontents
\setcounter{page}{4}
\begin{center}
\section{Intro}
\end{center}
lalala
\end{document}

And code for sleek.sty:

\ProvidesPackage{sleek}[2020/10/29 v1.01 Sleek Package]
% Table of contents
\newcommand{\romantableofcontents}{ % creates a table of contents with roman (i, ii, iii, ...) numbering of the pages
    \newpage
    \pagenumbering{roman}
    \tableofcontents
    \newpage
    \pagenumbering{arabic}
}
\endinput

Please make a Minimal Working Example so that people can copy-paste and test your code. Your choice of document class and packages will greatly influence how pages are numbered by default. — Miyase, Nov 24 '22 at 13:37
\large does not take a argument so \large{...} ... is making the entire document large not just the text in {...} — David Carlisle, Nov 24 '22 at 13:40
You have not provided any code we can test but \setcounter{page}{3}\pagenumbering{arabic} is wrog as \pagenumbering sets the number to 1, so you keep repeating that command so prevent latex numbering the pages — David Carlisle, Nov 24 '22 at 13:43
@David Carlisle I tried to increase text but only Large helped — catauggie, Nov 24 '22 at 13:43
@David Carlisle, I have only this minimal code... First page is file.pdf — catauggie, Nov 24 '22 at 13:45
but you have the syntax wrong it should be \Large abc not \Large{abc} — David Carlisle, Nov 24 '22 at 13:45
I tried to fix \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}, but it doesn't change anything/ — catauggie, Nov 24 '22 at 13:46
Provide an example that shows the problem then people can suggest fixes. Remove every package not needed to show the problm and every package that stops latex with: ! LaTeX Error: File \packages/sleek.sty' not found.` — David Carlisle, Nov 24 '22 at 13:50
ok, can we move this discussion to chat? I can't share here files — catauggie, Nov 24 '22 at 13:52
Do not share files, just fix your example code in the question. — David Carlisle, Nov 24 '22 at 13:54

I added the following code to your sleek.sty:

\makeatletter
\def\pagenumbering#1{%
  \gdef\thepage{\csname @#1\endcsname \c@page}}
\makeatother

from this TeX.SE answer, which seems to have worked fine. Here is the full MWE:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{sleek.sty}
\ProvidesPackage{sleek}[2020/10/29 v1.01 Sleek Package]
% New code:
%===============================================
\makeatletter
\def\pagenumbering#1{%
  \gdef\thepage{\csname @#1\endcsname \c@page}}
\makeatother
%===============================================
% Table of contents
\newcommand{\romantableofcontents}{ % creates a table of contents with roman (i, ii, iii, ...) numbering of the pages
    \newpage
    \pagenumbering{roman}
    \tableofcontents
    \newpage
    \pagenumbering{arabic}
}
\endinput
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage{sleek}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
title page
\end{titlepage}
\newpage
\pagestyle{plain}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{2}
\begin{center}
\section{Abstract}
\end{center}
About purposes...
\newpage
\renewcommand\contentsname{Content}
%\pagenumbering{arabic}
\romantableofcontents
\newpage
\setcounter{page}{4}
\begin{center}
\section{Intro}
\end{center}
lalala
\end{document}

I also removed the \setcounter{page}{3} \pagenumbering{arabic} which was redundant. The nice thing about this is that if you chose to move the table of contents to another page, the numbering will still be right.

Also: in the future I recommend using \begin{filecontents}{<filename>} to include files (like .bib, .sty and .cls) in your MWE. It makes it much easier for us to run and test the MWE.

thanks for your help. But can I clarify: how to make 14pt without using \large? At least, there is no any sleek files, but \documentclass[a4paper,14pt]{article} dont't help((( — catauggie, Nov 24 '22 at 17:12
See this answer: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/70384/199568 . To get 14pt you can use: \documentclass[a4paper,14pt]{extarticle} \usepackage{geometry} — Vebjorn, Nov 24 '22 at 17:15
