I am using this code (\documentclass[12pt, twoside]{report}) to make my thesis able to print in double-side. I assume it should create some blank pages to have the chapters always in the right. But it doesn't. Any idea please?

    Left chapters? Do you mean that chapter can begin on a verso page?

  • Yes, like those we have in books

    Normally chapters do start on a right-handed page, i.e. recto (odd page numbers), at least with left-to-right fonts. Try the openany option in addition to 12pt etc.

  • \documentclass[12pt,twoside,openany]{report} \usepackage{blindtext} \begin{document} \tableofcontents \chapter{First} \blindtext[10] \chapter{Second} \end{document} -- This will open chapters on left page

  • add \usepackage[right=3.5in,showframe]{geometry} to check which pages are left and which are right.

    Adding this option: openright will create blank pages, so that the beginning of the chapter is always on the roight.
