Page Layout ⇒ Memoir class, openright option

[msr]

Hello,

Im getting started to LaTeX. Im using memoir class and I need to print the document on two sides of the page so I have:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twoside,openright]{memoir}

Three questions/problems:

1) Why table of contents doesn't open in a new page? If I dont type '\newpage' TOC will be just next to cover (\maketitle).

2) Why 'Contents' is a part of TOC? The 'Contents' page is obvious...

2) New chapters begin in odd pages. Why odd pages have a bigger right margin than even pages? It shouldn't be the oposite?


Thanks in advance for your atention!

Hi,

the answers for 1) and 2) can be found reading the memoir user manual (See Section 9.2 THE CLASS TOC METHODS):

1) It's a feature (the same behaviour applies to the LoF (List of Figures) and LoT (List of Tables)). I presume that this behaviour is inherited from the tocloft package. To let the ToC begin in a page of its own, use a \clearpage command, as described in the manual.

2) Use the starred version \tableofcontents* instead of the standard \tableofcontents to prevent the heading Table of Contents from appearing in the ToC.

Regarding 3), the answer is simple if you take into account the space reserved for margin notes. But, of course, you can modify the page layout.
