Page Layout ⇒ Titlepage on right hand side

[Zetison]

Could it be that you are confused because

• the appearance of the margins give you the impression that it looks like a right hand page?

You mean left hand page? It definitively looks like a left hand page.

• your PDF viewer (which one?) shows the page 1 on the left of your screen?

I use TeXmaker, and I don't think that's the problem

Or how do you define right hand pages? I define a right hand page as a page with an odd number, such as 1. Number (even or odd) define the side.

Oh, I define right hand pages as the page on the right side when you have opened a book. And if the front cover of a book is numbered 1, then ofcourse all right hand pages is numbered odd.

But as I said, it is simply not the case when I include my titlepage.tex.

I upploaded my pdf-file here.

As you can see the right hand pages are even numbered...

It definitively looks like a left hand page.

And this means? Is it because of the margins?
It's default that inner margin is smaller than outer margin in twoside mode. The reason is to have equal white space if a book is opened: left margin equals sum of 2 inner margins equals right margin. So the inner is half of the outer.

If you need more inner margin space for binding correction, this is a different topic, you could add that.

Then turn the printed pages and put it so that page 1 is on the right. What's the problem?

I guess, the real problem is that you would like to adjust the margins? You probably miss additional inner margin for binding, that's why you think right are left pages?

Yes, and it's easy just to adjust margins only on the front page (so it looks like a right hand page. This will actually give me the result I want (all tho it's a bit cheating), but when I triend I got this ekstra page in front of the document.

If you ignore the first page, and the pages are numbered corrosponding, this is the result I want:

which you can compare to the old file

But is this the only way out?

What's the criterion for you, that it looks like a right hand page?

If it's the margin, why don't you speak of margins and ask, for example, how to get 1in inner margin plus 1in binding correction and 2in outer margin? Or, for example, how to get certain margins on odd pages, including the title page and certain margins on even pages?

Instead, all the time you speak about "it's a left hand page" etc. This means nothing as you simple can put the printed paper to the right. And "it looks like a left hand page" doesn't mean anything if you don't specify what you mean with looks like - an odd number or certain margins.

For me, I'm finished with dealing with this topic about a title page starting on the right hand side. I don't see a problem after so many posts. Just put the title page paper with the title page upright to the right side, voila, and the implicit page number is 1, so odd, fine.

If you would like to open a new topic about margins, feel free to do that.
