As is, it does not leave a blank page. But if you remove the num:nil option from the second line of this file, you do get a blank page. You (probably) need koma-article class for this. (I didn't install anything. It just worked for me.) You don't need the images. -pd On 2/28/14, 8:21 PM, Peter Davis wrote: > > On 2/28/14, 7:38 PM, Nick Dokos wrote: >> John is correct, I think, although latex's behavior in leaving an empty >> page does not make much sense to me.
