blank-pagetitles
I'm using MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXniCenter for writing my thesis. I have a lot of packages and everything was going well, until last night that a blank page with ".0" written in the top left corner kept generating before my title page and still I cannot figure out how to remove it. Is there any kind of command that I can use except \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage?
I have been searching heavily but could not find a useful way. I'd appreciate any help.
is there a … way … to chop off the extraneous whitespace at the end of my document without tinkering with the .sty file?
You can always just override the macros of the .sty file by redefining them in your actual document. This may not always be pretty but it’s absolutely possible. In the simplest case, if we assume that some command \foo is responsible for the blank page by issuing a command \clearpage, you can just copy that out of the .sty file and redefine it in your main document.
Given:
\newcommand\foo{…something…\clearpage…something else…}
Just put this into your document:
\renewcommand\foo{…somethign……something else…}
Of course, this needs to be adjusted for parameters etc. and it’s probably not as simple as removing a redundant \clearpage but the principle still applies.
There are some .\\ after \afil commands that goes to the first page. Without the blank page is gone:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{authblk}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{cite}
\begin{document}
\title{paper}
\author[1*]{author A}
\author[1]{ author B}
\author[2]{author C}
\affil[1]{Department of A, University of ABC}
\affil[2]{Department of B, University of CBA}
\affil[*]{Corresponding author: abc@email.abc.edu}

For what it's worth or if all else fails, you can always remove the first page by adding the following to your document preamble:
This should affect only the next shipout at the document start, which defaults to the first page.
