Page Layout ⇒ How to remove empty page after appendix in scrbook

[Georg]

Hi everyone,
How to remove empty pages after each appendix in scrbook. Sometimes I have empty pages after appendices and sometimes no empty pages after other appendices.
Thanks

Hi Georg,

welcome to the forum!

Chapters start at right hand pages (1, or 3, or 5, ..). If necessary, an empty page is inserted, to avoid that a chapter begins at a left hand page. Appendices are chapters, so it's the same. If you don't want that, add the document class option openany.

Hello Stefan,
Thank you.
I'm actually using openany. But still sometimes I have empty pages after some appendices and sometimes no empty pages after other appendices.

Hi Georg,

can you show us what sometimes happens? Here's a good explanation how to extract and post relevant code: minimal working example

Hello Stefan,
I mean after appendix B, C, E and F there are empty pages and no empty pages after other appendices. Empty pages are page 7, 9, 12 and 14.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

After my appendices with scrbook with openany, there are no empty pages. It seems your code contains something non-default. A \clearpage, \newpage, or some pretty hidden setting. It can hardly be pointed to without seeing the code.

I'm also surprised as I don’t use any \clearpage, \newpage. Is there any command to add before or after chapters to stop creating new pages?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I think you don't need to add a command, but to remove something. If you would post code, I probably could see what.

\chapter{text6} \label{a}
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.9\linewidth, height=0.7\textheight]{Appendices/6}

%here I have empty page
\chapter{text7}

The H option ist not good. It forces placement even if there is not sufficient space on the page left, pushing it to the next space, leaving undesired white space at the bottom of the page. Automatic placement is better in general. In books, figures are placed where they fit best, referenced with a number.

That's a good way, including the proper way of making a caption:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[htbp!]  
	\centering
	\includegraphics[width=0.9\linewidth, height=0.7\textheight]{Appendices/6}
	\caption{\textbf{Source:}~\citet{author}.Text text text}\label{app:6}
\end{figure}
