No empty page after TOC

Post by fishy »

What should I do to remove an empty page after TOC, LOF and LOT? I use book class. My code looks like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}
 

\begin{document}

\chapter{Introduction}
\section{Very Beginning}
bla bla bla
\section{Further Beginning}

\begin{tabular}{ l c r }
  1 & 2 & 3 \\
  4 & 5 & 6 \\
  7 & 8 & 9 \\
\end{tabular}
bla bla bla
\chapter{Body}
bla bla bla
\chapter{Conclusion}
\section{1st Conclusion}
bla bla bla
\section{2nd Conclusion}
bla bla bla

\begin{tabular}{ l | c || r | }
  1 & 2 & 3 \\
  4 & 5 & 6 \\
  7 & 8 & 9 \\
\end{tabular}

\tableofcontents
\listoftables
\listoffigures
\end{document}
Do I have redefine all of these commands?

It should be enough to add »openany« to the document class options.

I know I could use openany option, but then it would also make every chapter start on the next page, and I don't want that. I only want to get rid of blank pages after TOC, LOF and LOT.

Try a \cleardoublepage command right before every single chapter. This should let them begin on odd (right) pages. That's much simpler than redefining the commands for the lists.

Thank you, this works great, but it's tedious and it looks a bit strange in the code. Is there any other method to achieve what I want?
