[Tex/LaTex] Make sections begin on even-numbered pages in documentclass article

Question

I've understood that it's easily solved in the book class. But is there a simple solution for how to do this in the article class?

Answer 1

Normally you'd want to start on an odd page:

\let\oldsection\section
\def\section{\cleardoublepage\oldsection}

If you really do want to have the headings on even pages, modify the definition of \cleardoublepage (taking out an \else to give \clearevenpage

\documentclass[twoside]{article}


\let\oldsection\section
\def\section{\clearevenpage\oldsection}

\makeatletter
\def\clearevenpage{\clearpage\if@twoside \ifodd\c@page
    \hbox{}\newpage\if@twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\section{aaa}
one
\section{aaaa}
one two three
\section{jjaaaa}
one two three four

\end{document}
