How can I automatically start a new page with each part?

I found this answer, which work nicely for section breaks, but was unable to customize the command to works with parts.

I looked the titlesec documentation, but it wasn't apparent to me how to use the package to start a new page for parts.

Here is the preamble:

\documentclass[11pt,titlepage]{article} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
\usepackage{libertine} 
\usepackage{amsmath} 
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{xcolor} 
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage{fancyhdr} 
\usepackage{floatrow} \floatsetup[table]{style=plaintop}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{pdflscape} 
\usepackage[verbose,top=2.5cm,bottom=2cm,left=2cm,right=2cm, headsep=1.5cm]{geometry} 
\usepackage{fancyhdr} \lhead{\includegraphics[width=1cm] ./figures/logo.jpg}}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\newcommand{\sectionbreak}{\clearpage} %new page after each section

    Do you have to use the article class? Simply changing to report will work. – erik Apr 10 '15 at 19:26
  • Don't parts always start a new page? – Johannes_B Apr 10 '15 at 19:28
  • Changing to report class did work, but changes the section enumeration (now listed from 0.1, 0.2, ... instead of 1, 2, 3...). Any way to make it happen with an article class? – Minnow Apr 10 '15 at 19:44
  • This answer shows how to remove the zero preceding the section number. However, if you don't want an entire part page, which the report class will create, then Ian's answer should work nicely. – erik Apr 10 '15 at 19:54
  • @erik - your link to the section numbering is handy too, thanks. – Minnow Apr 10 '15 at 21:16

Try this.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum} %for dummy text
\let\oldpart\part
\renewcommand\part{\newpage\oldpart}
\begin{document}
\part{The first}
\lipsum[1-2]
\part{The second}
\lipsum[3-4]
\end{document}

With etoolbox you can apply a \clearpage before \part

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum} %for dummy text
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\preto{\part}{\clearpage}
\title{Some}
\author{you}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\part{The first}
\lipsum[1-2]
\part{The second}
\lipsum[3-4]
\end{document}
