Page Layout ⇒ Writing on the Back of Part Pages

[ruh31]

Hi,

I am writing a book two-sided and use part pages in between. Therefore those pages currently look like

Part 1: ABC

on the first page, then followed by an empty page. I would like to write text on that second, empty page - how can I do that? This should not affect the chapter behavior or anything like that, it should simply use the back side of a part page in case I want to use it.

Can anyone help me here? Thank you!

Assuming this is in memoir ...

From p. 76 of the memoir class manual:

You can redefine \afterpartskip so it doesn't insert a blank page:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\afterpartskip}{\vfil}

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I am using »scrbook« from KOMA-Script as the class - do you also have a solution for that setting?

I think I found a solution - this is what I did now:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\partheademptypage}{%
  \if@twoside\if@openright
      \null%
      \thispagestyle{empty}%
  \fi\fi
}
\part{Part Name}
\thispagestyle{plain}
This is the text I put on the back side of the part page
\renewcommand*{\partheademptypage}{%
  \if@twoside\if@openright
      \null%
      \thispagestyle{empty}%
      \newpage
  \fi\fi
}

I found a more robust and way easier way to do it. How I am solving it now:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter\@openrightfalse\makeatother
\part{Part Name}
This is the text I put on the back side of the part page
\makeatletter\@openrighttrue\makeatother
