book-designchaptersspacing
I've searched this sites for similar questions, but can only find answers that remove the space for every chapter, whereas I only want it removed in one chapter. The MWE is quite minimal :)
\documentclass{book}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapter 1}
Hello
\chapter{Chapter 2}
Bonjour
\end{document}
How can I remove the white space above only one of the chapters?
This is the simplest hack:
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Conclusions}\label{chap:end}
Something.
\begingroup
\renewcommand{\cleardoublepage}{}
\renewcommand{\clearpage}{}
\chapter{Acknowledgments}\label{chap:ack}
\endgroup
I thank the people at \TeX.StackExchange for
their support.
\end{document}
The same if you use \chapter*.
Redefining both \cleardoublepage and \clearpage is necessary only if the openright option is used. Otherwise acting only on \clearpage is sufficient, but it doesn't harm having both macros redefined.
A solution with the apptools and titlesec packages:
% !Mode:: "TeX:UTF-8"
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,oneside]{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{appendix, apptools}
\AtAppendix{%
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]{\vspace*{-50pt}\bfseries\huge}{\chaptername~\thechapter}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{0pt}{0pt}}%
\begin{document}
\chapter{Normal chapter}
\chapter{Normal chapter}
\appendix
\chapter{Appendix chapter}
\chapter{Appendix chapter}
\end{document}
