Page Layout ⇒ blank pages after \chapter line

[sil]

Hi,

I have some problems inserting blank pages after the chapter command:

Code: Select all

\chapter{hello}
\newpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage}

The \newpage command does correctly work when I try to add a blank page between the text, but it does not work when it is inserted just after the \chapter line. Does somebody know what I should use?

The best you can do is to post a minimal working example allowing us to reproduce the problem mentioned. The following simple code works OK in my system:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Test chapter}
\newpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage}

some text

\end{document}

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. Here you have a working example. I do not have all chapters in the same file, instead I have a general file where I include everything:

Main file looks like this one:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,11pt]{book}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\include{jacs_sc3n}
\include{jacs_y3n}

\end{document} 

Then, inside the file jacs_sc3n.tex I include the following:

Code: Select all

\chapter{Chemical reactivity}

\newpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage}

Thanks for your quick answer, I do not have a lot of experience on using latex so I don't really see why it does not work.

Hi sil,

you could insert \mbox{} like

Code: Select all

\newpage\mbox{}\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage
