Is there a way to remove blank pages appearing between two chapters, in Appendix?
This question is related to
latex
One thing I discovered is that using the \include command will often insert and extra blank page. Riffing on the previous trick with the \let command, I inserted \let\include\input near the beginning of the document, and that got rid of most of the excessive blank pages.
If you specify the option 'openany' in the \documentclass declaration each chapter in the book (I'm guessing you're using the book class as chapters open on the next page in reports and articles don't have chapters) will open on a new page, not necessarily the next odd-numbered page.
Of course, that's not quite what you want. I think you want to set openany for chapters in the appendix. 'fraid I don't know how to do that, I suspect that you need to roll up your sleeves and wrestle with TeX itself
I tried Noah's suggestion which leads to the best solution up to now.
Just insert \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage before all the parts with the blank pages
Especially when you use \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}
frederic snyers's advice \documentclass[oneside]{book} is also very good and solves the problem, but if we just want to use the book.cls or article.cls, the one would make a big difference presenting your particles.
Hence, Big support to \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage for the people who will ask the same question in the future.
In my case, I still wanted the open on odd pages option but this would produce a blank page with the chapter name in the header. I didn't want the header. And so to avoid this I used this at the end of the chapter:
\clearpage
\thispagestyle{plain}
This let's you keep the blank page on the last even page of the chapter but without the header.

it is very easy:
add \documentclass[oneside]{book}
and youre fine ;)
You can also use \openany, \openright and \openleft commands:
\documentclass{memoir}
\begin{document}
\openany
\appendix
\openright
\appendixpage
This is the appendix.
\end{document}

I put the \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage before \makeindex. Else, your content page will display page number based on the page number before you clear the blank page.
