book | Unwanted white Space between Paragraphs

Post by vishivish »

Hello there!

Two questions to the board:
  1. I am using 'book' class for my thesis. It appears that to evenly distribute contents on a page, LaTeX inserts extra white space between paragraphs. Is there way to avoid it?
  2. In the end of a chapter, a blank page is inserted before the next chapter. Is there way to remove the blank page?

Thanks everyone in advance!

Both questions might be answered by migrating your document to the »report« class. If for certain reasons you want to keep the »book« class, you can try these suggestions.
  1. Insert the \raggedbottom command in the preamble of your document.
  2. Add the »openany« option to the options for the document class.
