General ⇒ titlepage in twosided report

[mararie]

i would like to know if there is a possibility in latex to create a titlepage that starts on a right page instead of on a left page of a twosided report. can anybody help me with this issue? thanks, mararie

Hi mararie,

do you use \maketitle or the titlepage-environment?
The option notitlepage for the documentclass report could help, for example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twoside,notitlepage]{report}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\newpage
Text
\end{document}

Here the titlepage starts on page 1.

hi, thanks for your answer. if i use notitlepage, the title page is still shown as a left page (with the broad margins to the right). placing an empty page before the title page does not work either...

Hi mararie,

In my example the titlepage is on page 1, an odd page, thats a "right page". I think that the margins are intended this way, the larger margin set outside. If you want to change that behaviour you can do it with the geometry package.
Have a look at some textbooks and compare the inner and outer margins of common twoside textbooks.
