Smart page breaks to make chapters print modularly


I'm writing a booklet for my debate club in LyX, and it is a collection of Prep Cases - each prep case is a chapter. Currently I have a "new page" after every chapter, but I want something more - I want to make sure chapters begin in odd numbered pages, so that when I print the whole booklet in duplex - each prep case will be a standalone, separable unit. Is that possible in LyX or plain LaTeX?


Edit: silly me. I meant to say sections and not chapters. Is this possible with sections?


Solution

  • I'm not sure how to do this in Lyx, but if it will let you slip in some raw LaTeX, put this in your preamble:

    \let\originalsection=\section
    \renewcommand\section{\par\cleardoublepage\originalsection}
