One side document class within a doubleside one #36

Closed JoseBSL closed 2 years ago

JoseBSL commented 2 years ago

I have prepared the thesis with alternate headers with fancyhdr and I'm very happy with the output. However, the sections before the chapters I would like them with a single side page.

I have set twoside \documentclass[a4paper, twoside,$if(page-layout)$$page-layout$$endif$]{templates/ociamthesis} but I want to have single side pages on the declaration, acknowledgements, etc...

I ilustrate it here the issue. I'm trying to avoid this white page.

I've seen that switching between \setboolean{@twoside}{false} and \setboolean{@twoside}{true}, using \cleardoublepage or \newgeometry could be possible solutions but I haven't been able to change it. Any advice with this?

I haven't found a solution but I think is also nice as it is!

The silly-but-works solution is to just open the PDF in a PDF reader and then delete the unwanted blank page. ;)

On Mac you can do this by opening the PDF in Preview, then showing the Thumbnails sidebar, then click the page you want to delete, and press the backspace key to delete it.
