Page Layout ⇒ Openright

[Thudelicious]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to get a specific page to be placed to the right in my thesis.
I have specified the document by using openright, but as far as I understand this only applies to chapters, list of figures etc.
But if I want my abstract, acknowledgements or other pages to also be placed to the right, how can I specify this? Is there a command to do this for specific pages for instance?

Hi Thudelicious,

welcome to the board!

have you tried \cleardoublepage?

It would be best if you provided us with a minimal working example otherwise this is just guessing.

Hi,

I guess \cleardoublepage would work, but as I am starting to write my thesis now I was looking for a way to define other sections than chapters, list of figures etc to be placed on the write hand side, such that when I start to write, the page layout is not affected by the previous pages. Not quite sure how to illustrate it with an example, but if it is not possible I'll just have to do it when I finish my writing.

Best regards

If you define other sections, I assume you define macros for this. Within such a macro, you could call \cleardoublepage. You don't need it in the document body then, just in your preamble definition. The original \chapter does the same. From the book class:

Code: Select all

\newcommand\chapter{\if@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi
                    \thispagestyle{plain}%
...

It additionally checks for the openright option, which you don't need, as you know that your document is in openright mode.
