Blank page before appendix

[Johannes Sandvall]

After a change from article to report I get an unintentional black page
before the appendix. There is no difference if I have a \clearpage of not.

Is there a easy way to remove that page.

The style I use at the moment.

\documentclass[...]{report}

\chapter{one}
\input{one.tex}
\newpage
\chapter{two}
\input{two.tex}
\appendix
\chapter{app1}
\input{app1.tex}

Between last chapter before the appendix and the first appendix chapter
there is a blank page for report but not for article

That's because a chapter should start on a right-hand page.
Of course this is nonsense in the article class, which doesn't
even provide for chapters.

If you want to start chapters on any page, then use `openany'
as an option to \documentclass.

You don't need \newpage before a \chapter.

That is not the case since the blank page is a right-hand page. Chapters
start both on left- and right-hand pages.

which merely shows the importance of providing a *full* document.

"..." is not a recognised option for report class.

the effect you describe is expected if you have "twoside" and
"openright" options active.

remove either option, and your blank page will probably go.

... was short for fleqn, 11pt, a4paper,twoside,openright.

The blank page is a right-hand page, if I turn on twoside and openright I
get two blank pages

There is now no \newpages or \clearpage, \cleardoublepage or anything like
that.

If they are in the list, as you now say, then they are already "on".

The \chapter command executes \clearpage or \cleardoublepage.

I suspect you have an offset error in your page numbering, and
are putting even numbered pages on the right. Instead of saying
"right" page, people should say "odd numbered" page.

I suspect he merely has the mistaken impression that the pages with
wider left margin are the "right-hand" pages. In fact, the inner margins
are smaller in the default two-side setup of most document classes.

And before anyone asks the FAQ "Why? what about binding offset?", (s)he
should google this group for several rather lengthy discussions.

Sorry. It was a different problem that I didn't recognize. The blank page
was on a odd numbered page but the problem was the first appendix. It
contained a slightly too large table. It didn't somehow fit the first page
and the appendix chapter name was also moved to the next page.
