Blank page between two floats

Post by AliM94 »

Hi,
I'm quite new to LyX and probably my problem is really easy to solve. I am using LyX to write my dissertation: in the Appendix I have floats with tables, but between them sometimes LyX inserts a blank page. Can anyone help me? Thank you very much. Ali

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Ali,

welcome to the forum!

I think the tables are too wide. So because of missing space, they go to the next page where they are outpout anyway. Check the width.

Perhaps post your .lyx file as atachment here, you can post a copy of the document with most content removed, just showing the issue with tables.

yes, it worked! Thank you! :D
Can I also ask if you know how to solve another problem?
There is a picture of my final PDF, but the title of each section shows in the top right corner of each page. Do you know how to avoid this?

It depends on the template or document class you are using, and on your settings.

First, you can choose a page style, a simple one or a fancy one:

And if you choose a fancy one, you got a lot of options to change it, in your document preamble, like here:

All commands that you can use to freely customize your headings and the footer, are described here in the manual: fanchydr.
