How to remove blank pages between two chapters in an application?

Question

Is there a way to remove blank pages appearing between two chapters in an application?

Answer 1

Your problem is that all chapters, regardless of whether they are in the application or not, by default start on an odd-numbered page when you are in duplex layout mode. Several possible solutions:

The easiest solution is to use the openany parameter for your document class, which causes the chapters to run on the next page, whether it is an odd or even page. This is supported in a standard book class, for example \documentclass[openany]{book} . ( memoir also supports this as an \openany , which can be used in the middle of a document to change behavior for subsequent pages.)

Another option is to try to run the \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage in front of your applications to avoid behavior.

Or, if you don't like using a two-sided layout, using the oneside option for your documentclass (for example, \documentclass[oneside]{book} ) will switch to using a one-sided layout.

Answer 2

it is very simple:

add \documentclass[oneside]{book} and you are fine;)

Answer 3

I tried Noah's suggestion, which still leads to a better solution.

Just insert \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage in front of all parts with blank pages. Especially when you use \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}

Frederick Sniers' advice \documentclass[oneside]{book} also very good and solves the problem, but if we just want to use book.cls or article.cls, one of them will go a long way in representing your particles.

Therefore, there is a lot of support for \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage for people who ask the same question in the future.

Answer 4

If you specify the 'openany' option in the \ documentclass declaration in each chapter of the book (I assume that you are using the book class, since the chapters opened on the next page in reports and articles do not have chapters) will open on a new page, not necessarily next page with odd number.

Of course, this is not exactly what you want. I think you want to install openany for chapters in the application. "I'm afraid I don’t know how to do this, I suspect you need to roll up your sleeves and fight with TeX itself.

Answer 5

I put \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage to \makeindex . Otherwise, the page number based on the page number will be displayed on your content page before clearing a blank page.

Answer 6

One thing I discovered is that using the \ include command often inserts an extra blank page as well. Riffing on the previous trick with the \ let command, I inserted \ let \ include \ input near the beginning of the document and got rid of most of the extra blank pages.

Answer 7

In my case, I still need the open on odd pages option, but this will create a blank page with the title of the chapter in the title. I do not need a headline. And to avoid this, I used this at the end of the chapter:

 \clearpage \thispagestyle{plain} 

This will allow you to keep a blank page on the last even page of the chapter, but without a title.

Answer 8

You can also use the \openany , \openright and \openleft :

 \documentclass{memoir} \begin{document} \openany \appendix \openright \appendixpage This is the appendix. \end{document}
