General ⇒ Add newpage at end of section automatically

[axelh]

Is there some easy way to make each section (not only chapter) start in a new page? How can this be achieved other than adding "\newpage" manually at the end of each section?

I have too many sections... too lazy and also I want to try \newpage, \clearpage, etc and compare what I prefer. so that I want to change it only once at the beginning for the whole document.

Thanks!

Hi Axel,

you could do it this way:

Code: Select all

\let\stdsection\section
\renewcommand\section{\clearpage\stdsection}

Hi Stefan,

Thanks.

I tried, it works. BUT, the first section of each chapter is also starting on a new page, in a different page than the chapter's title. And I don't want that...

Any clue how to avoid it? Maybe by putting the new page command at the end of each section? But I don't see how to do it...

Hi Axel,

you could check the section counter:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\section{\ifnum\c@section>0{\clearpage}\else\fi\stdsection}
\makeatother

For those who copy and paste, this is the code that works for me (merging from two pieces of code) above:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\let\stdsection\section
\renewcommand\section{\ifnum\c@section>0{\clearpage}\else\fi\stdsection}
\makeatother

Thanks.
