Page Layout ⇒ Remove page number on blank side

[drgz]

When using \cleardoublepage to force a blank page after the title page, how do I remove the page number on the blank page?

At the moment I use the report class with the twosided option enabled.

After my preamble the code starts like

Code: Select all

\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{Roman}
\include{tex/titlepage}
\cleardoublepage
\include{tex/abstract}
\cleardoublepage

\setcounter{page}{3}
\tableofcontents

In both the titlepage.tex and the abstract.tex file I've used \thispagestyle{empty} to remove the page numbering of each of the two pages, but no matter what I do I just can't manage to remove the page number of the second page (after the title page).

I've uploaded a PDF [1] containing the first four pages of how it looks like at the moment. Hopefully someone knows how I remove the page number of the second page

As you also can see the fourth page is numbered as page II (the same as the second page), so this is also I'd like to fix, but I assume (hope) this will be fixed as a result of the other "problem".

Edit*

If the preamble is needed, here it is:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{report}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{float}
%\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[hang,small,bf]{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage[breaklinks=true]{hyperref}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{tikz,pgf,pgfplots}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usepackage{nomencl}
\usepackage{subeqnarray}
\usepackage{vmargin}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{breakurl}

\hypersetup{
    colorlinks,%
    citecolor=black,%
    filecolor=black,%
    linkcolor=black,%
    urlcolor=black
}

\setpapersize{A4}
\setlength{\jot}{12pt}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1]{%
\vspace*{50pt}
{\setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \raggedright \normalfont
\bfseries\Huge\thechapter.\ #1
\par\nobreak\vspace{40 pt}}}
\makeatother

What about if you use it like this?

In your \include{file}

Code: Select all

{\thispagestyle{empty}

other stuff

\pagebreak
}

When I included the \pagebreak I didn't get any blank page after the titlepage, which is something I need as I want the abstract to start on an odd page.

So I'm still looking for a solution

[daleif]

redefine \cleardoublepage or switch to the memoir class, which leaves the blank pages blank

The momoir class does the trick, so thanks. But out of curiosity, what should i redefine the \cleardoublepage to if I should counter the "problem" and still use the report class?

[daleif]

In general use the memoir class for everything except articles for journals.

As for your question, something similar to

Thanks for the help! Will stick to the memoir class from now on, many nice "built-in" options I wasn't aware of.
