General ⇒ Remove heading from empty page

[zaradek]

I use the fancyhdr package with the book class. The problem is that when a page is left out because otherwise the next chapter would start on an even page then the heading is got on to this page as well, but it should be totally empty. How can it be solved?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\begin{document}
\chapter{First chapter}
\section{First section}
Some text.
\chapter{This chapter has to start on an odd page}
Ans so on.
\end{document}

The documentation (Section 15 Those blank pages, page 15) of the fancyhdr package gives you the answer:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{chngpage}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}

\chapter{First chapter}
\section{First section}
Some text.
\clearpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage}

\chapter{This chapter has to start on an odd page}
Ans so on.

\end{document}

Thanks, you are right, I have it.

But why do you use \usepackage{chngpage}?

Sorry for that. Regarding this particular issue, there's no need to use the chngpage package.
