Make Title Page Righthanded?

Post by Chaz »

I'm typesetting a book in LaTex. I'm actually using the report class and have parametrized [twoside, rightside] so that I can have "lefthand" and "righthand" pages. By default, title page is lefthanded, but I want it to be righthanded. Any suggestions for how to get it to be righthanded?

The default title page of report is page 1 and therefore a right hand page, if option twoside is used:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside]{report}
\usepackage{mwe}
\begin{document}
\title{Title}
\author{Me}
\maketitle
\blinddocument
\end{document}
So please show us a Infominimal working example, that let us reproduce your problem.

Though a page 1 is a right hand page by its number, perhaps you mean that the margin settings let look page 1 like a left hand side to you? In that case let us know your margin settings or post the code as small compilable example, as Ijon suggested.

Odd pages are right-hand pages (at least at left to right typesetting). So page 1 is a right-hand page.

You're right, that left/right confusion confused me :-) I edited above. My focus was that the margin wasn't correctly understood.
