Page break after every section

Question

The skeleton of my document is:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,textcomp,amssymb,geometry,graphicx}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\section*{1.}

\begin{itemize}
\item[(a)]
\item[(b)]
\end{itemize}

\section*{2.}

\begin{itemize}
\item[(a)]
\item[(b)]
\end{itemize}

\section*{3.}

\begin{itemize}
\item[(a)]
\item[(b)]
\end{itemize}

\end{document}

I want each section to be on a separate page. How do I do that?

Answer 1

why

\section*{1.}

rather than

\section{}

In LaTeX it's almost always better to let LaTeX do the numbering.

However in either case

\let\oldsection\section
\renewcommand\section{\clearpage\oldsection}

will add the page break.

Answer 2

As shown here

If you place each section into its own file and place all the files into the same folder, you can easily determine whether you would like a page break or not between each by using \include{section file} or \input{section file}.

\include{section file} places a page break after each while \input{section file} does not.

\documentclass[notitlepage, 12pt]{article}

\begin{document}

\title{Weekly Homework X}
\author{Tony Stark\\ 
Foundations of Mathematics}

\maketitle

\input{file example 1}
\input{file example 2}
\input{file example 3}

\include{file example 4}

\end{document}

Answer 3

Here's another option using \sectionbreak from the titlesec package:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleclass{\section}{top}
\newcommand\sectionbreak{\clearpage}

\title{Title}
\author{Author}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\section{Test section one}
\section{Test section two}
\section{Test section three}
\section{Test section four}

\end{document}
