Page Layout ⇒ TOC on right hand side of double sided

[twsouthwick]

I am having issues renewing the TOC command so that it will be on the right hand side of a book. Here's the code I'm using:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper,twoside,openright]{book}

\usepackage{testtoc}

\begin{document}

\title{Test Title}
\author{Nobody}
\maketitle

\tableofcontents

\section{test1}

\section{test2}

\end{document}

This requires a package testtoc.sty:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[dotinlabels]{titletoc}

\renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{
	\newpage
	\phantomsection
	\pdfbookmark[0]{Table of Contents}{tableofcontents}
	\begin{center}
		TABLE OF CONTENTS
	\end{center}
	\par
	\@starttoc{toc}
	\newpage
}	

I try putting in a \newpage but it does not do anything. Thanks for any help!

Hi,

you could use \cleardoublepage. This command starts a new page on a right hand side. If necessary, an empty page would be inserted.

Awesome! Thanks. That does it - kind of weird that it wouldn't insert a new page with the \newpage command ... anyone know why?

Awesome! […] That does it […]

Then please mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting).

[…] kind of weird that it wouldn't insert a new page with the \newpage command ... anyone know why?

The \newpage command just ends the current page, not more.
