[Tex/LaTex] Setting class options after \documentclass

class-optionsdocument-classesthesis

Context: I'm working on my thesis, and the formatting requirements are pretty godawful. In addition to the version I submit to the grad school, I would like to also create a properly formatted version for everyone else.

In particular, my document begins:

\documentclass[twoside]{book}

Is it possible to later countermand the twoside option?

Best Answer

Yes, but like many of the kernel class options it was not exactly designed for this. You'd by much better off simply having two potential document class lines, or something as simple as

\documentclass[
   twoside
 ]{book}

so you can comment out the option as necessary.
