LaTeX remove blank page after a part or chapter

Question

How to remove a blank page that gets added automatically after  part   or  chapter   in a book document class   I need to add some short text describing the  part  Adding some text after the part command results in at least 3 pages with an empty page between the part heading and the text    Part xx  empty  some text   How to get rid of that empty page   P S  Latex  How to remove blank pages coming between two chapters IN Appendix  is similar but it changes the behavior for the rest of the text while I need to remove the empty page for this one  part command only

A solution that works   Wrap the part of the document that needs this modified behavior with the code provided below  In my case the portion to wrap is a  part   and some text following it    makeatletter  openrightfalse  part Whatever   Some text   chapter Foo    openrighttrue makeatother    The wrapped portion should also include the chapter at the beginning of which this behavior needs to stop  Otherwise LaTeX may generate an empty page before this chapter   Source  folks at the  latex IRC channel on irc freenode net

You don t say what class you are using  but I m guessing it is the standard book  In which case the page clearing is a feature of he class which you can override as Mica suggests  or solve by switching to another class  The standard report class is similar to book  or the memoir class is an improved book and is very flexible indeed

I believe that in the book class all  part and  chapter are set to start on a recto page   from book cls     newcommand part      if openright      cleardoublepage    else      clearpage    fi    thispagestyle plain      if twocolumn      onecolumn       tempswatrue    else       tempswafalse    fi    null vfil    secdef  part  spart    you should be able to renew that command  and something similar for the  chapter

It leaves blank pages so that a new part or chapter start on the right-hand side   You can fix this with the  openany  option for the document class

Although I guess you do not need an answer any longer  I am giving the solution for those who will come to see this post   Derived from book cls   def  endpart  vfil newpage                if twoside                  null                  thispagestyle empty                    newpage                fi                if tempswa                  twocolumn                fi    It is   newpage  at the first line of this fragment that adds a redundant blank page after the part header page  So you must redefine the command   endpart  Add the following snippet to the beggining of your tex file    makeatletter  renewcommand  endpart  vfil                if twoside                  null                  thispagestyle empty                    newpage                fi                if tempswa                  twocolumn                fi   makeatother

I know it s a bit late  but I just came across this post and wanted to mention that I don t really see way everybody wants to do it in a difficult way    The problem here is just that the book class takes twoside as default  so  as gromgull said  just pass oneside as argument and it s solved
