Document Classes ⇒ Page inserted before a new chapter page in twosided document

[ernesto07]

Using the twoside book class, latex includes a blank page just before a new chapter so it starts on a right hand page. Can this blank page be modified so I can put a water mark text saying: "This page was intentionally left blank" (is a requierement for my manual). Thanks.

Hi Ernesto,

welcome to the board!

You could redefine \cleardoublepage, like in this example from the fancyhdr manual:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\def\cleardoublepage{\clearpage\if@twoside \ifodd\c@page\else
\hbox{}
\vspace*{\fill}
\begin{center}
This page was intentionally left blank.
\end{center}
\vspace{\fill}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\newpage
\if@twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi}
\makeatother

Thanks! Works perfectly.
