I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble inserting a latex code example to explain this problem.

I'm writing a book on environmental hydraulics for university (nothing commercial).

I have a problem inserting a blank page between chapters. I noticed that if the chapter ends with an odd numbered page, the empty page is inserted; if the chapter ends with an even numbered page, the empty page is not inserted.

I thought of two possibilities:

  1. force the insertion of an "empty page"
  2. use this code: \afterpage{\null\newpage}

enter image description here

with the code I get the insertion of two pages (which is quite natural for the book style?) but I would like to insert only one page and not two

This is the style of my preamble

\documentclass [pdftex, 10pt, a4paper] {book}
\usepackage [a4paper] {geometry}
\setlength {\ oddsidemargin} {0 mm}
\setlength {\ topmargin} {0 mm}
% \setlength {\ headheight} {7 mm}% head height
% \setlength {\ headsep} {9 mm}
\setlength {\ evensidemargin} {0 mm}
\setlength {\ marginparwidth} {0 mm}
\setlength {\ textheight} {230mm}% Text Height
\setlength {\ textwidth 150mm} {}

Do you have any suggestions please?

    If you insert only one blank page, the next chapter would begin at page 76, but usually chapters begin on odd-numbered pages. – egreg Jul 18 '20 at 07:26
  • if it were an unnumbered page? – Antonio Jul 18 '20 at 10:57

    Numbered or unnumbered doesn't make difference ... imagine the book printed ... Chapter should start on the right hand – koleygr Jul 18 '20 at 12:16

    Generally speaking, in published books there are either no blank pages between chapters or if chapters always start on a right-hand page then there may be a blank page before it if the previous chapter had ended on a right-hand page. I have never seen a book where there has always been a blank page between chapters. – Peter Wilson Jul 18 '20 at 17:30
  • the book of notes that I am writing is very didactic. it is designed to be printed on one side only, so I would like a blank page only so that pupils can enter their final notes – Antonio Jul 20 '20 at 19:25
