Text Formatting ⇒ Removing Headers from Blank Pages

[AleCes]

I want to remove headers from blank pages, the even pages are left blank because chapters can only start in odd pages. Do you need a minimal example?

Of course

Yes we do, and you should know this by now. Please take a look at the topic "Remove headers from blank pages". If I remember correctly you are also using fancyhdr, maybe you can adapt the suggestion of Thorsten.

Oops... I'm really sorry, I should have done it, but I forgot... By the way, your solution, localghost, seems to me a bit convoluted, what about emptypage? So, here's my proposed solution:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{book}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[CE]{{\leftmark}}
\fancyhead[CO]{{\rightmark}}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Style=Alternate, Mapping=tex-text}
\setmainfont{FreeSerif}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{serbian}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{emptypage}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Foo}

\lipsum[1-3]

\chapter{Bar}

\lipsum[4-6]

\chapter{Baz}

\lipsum[7-9]

\end{document}

I would consider my solution not as convoluted. Just redefining the responsible command is straightforward. And I was not aware of emptypage.

And by the way, the package does nothing else. This can be seen from the documented code in its manual. It only uses a helper macro. A method which I would consider far more convoluted. But it does this in order to enable the package options. Nevertheless thank you for the alternative solution.

By "convoluted" I meant there was so much code to write while emptypage does it in a cleaner and quicker way. As you can see, localghost, I'm not that lazy, sometimes I even find out solutions by myself.
