Appendices – How to Arrange Appendices One After Another

Question

I am writing a document with the following documentclass:

\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,openright,12pt]{report}

Since I have some Appendices to the text and they are rather small, I was thinking if I could make them start one after another, without starting on the next page or without skipping any page (I need the openright behaviour for the rest of the text).

Answer 1

Besides combining all appendices as \sections into a single \chapter, you could a) disable the page breaking mechanism entirely for the appendix b) let \cleardoublepage to \clearpage in order to avoid blank pages between chapters. (Note: \cleardoublepage and \clearpage are internally used by \chapter.)

\documentclass[twoside,openright]{report}

\begin{document}

\chapter{bla}

Some text.

\cleardoublepage
\begingroup

% Alternative A
% \let\clearpage\relax

% Alternative B
\let\cleardoublepage\clearpage

\appendix

\chapter{blubb}

Some text.

\chapter{foo}

Some text.

\endgroup

\end{document}
