General ⇒ Blank Pages

[evyn]

Hi all,

I am using \documentclass[12pt,makeidex,a4paper]{book}, with a main .tex file with a number of \include{}.

This works very well, excepting that for some of the chapters there is a blank page in the output file (pdf) at the end. Can anyone help with this perplexing issue?

TIA
Evyn

Hi,

Don't know if this is the same problem. But i'm writing a paper and looks like this;

\documentclass[a4paper,
twoauthors,
envcountsame,
envcountchap]

I think it's the same for both papers and books that a beginning of a chapter always starts on the right side. So if your last sentence in a chapter is on a "right side" then the following side is blank because it's on the left side. So the chapter can start on the right side.

Thanks - that makes total sense. I should have thought of that.

You can avoid this behaviour by using the openany class option:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[openany,...]{book}
