Taking only \openany and \openright from Memoir
Olaf Marzocchi
the memoir class, to change how chapters start inside the document,
but I failed.
Could you explain me the error?
I took the following lines from memoir.dtx and put them inside a
\makeatletter and \makeatother, in my preamble:
% \subsection{The openright, openleft and openany options}
%
\DeclareOption{openright}{\@openrighttrue}
\DeclareOption{openany}{\@openrightfalse}
\DeclareOption{openleft}{\@openlefttrue}
%
% Commands that can be used to change the option in the middle of the
% document\footnote{Openleft provided to meet a request by
% Vladimir G.~Ivanovic (\texttt{vlad...@acm.org}) in September
2001.}.
\newcommand{\openright}{\@openrighttrue\@openleftfalse%
\gdef\clearforchapter{\cleartorecto}}
\newcommand{\openany}{\@openrightfalse\@openleftfalse%
\gdef\clearforchapter{\clearpage}}
\newcommand{\openleft}{\@openlefttrue
\gdef\clearforchapter{\cleartoverso}}
% A repeat of |\cleardoublepage|; clears to a recto (odd-numbered)
page.
\def\cleartorecto{\clearpage\if@twoside \ifodd\c@page\else
\hbox{}\thispagestyle{cleared}%
\newpage\if@twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi}
\def\cleartoverso{\clearpage\if@twoside
\ifodd\c@page\hbox{}\thispagestyle{cleared}%
\newpage\if@twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi}
I get the following error:
! LaTeX Error: \RequirePackage or \LoadClass in Options Section.
The package `' is defective.
It attempts to load `ragged2e' in the options section, i.e.,
between \DeclareOption and \ProcessOptions.
Why is it? I didn't even use that new options!
Thank you for your help!

I would think that you cannot specify \DeclareOption in the preamble of a
document. That has to go in a package or a class.
what exactly is it you are trying to do?

My goal is to change the way chapters start: in the first part of the
document I want chapters (LoT, LoF, Preface, Foreword) to start on the
next page, while in the second part of the document I want chapters to
start on the next recto (odd) page.
I specified openright in the documentclass options, but I need to
switch to openany in the first part of the document and then switch
back.
Update: I tried to remove the first lines, with \DeclareOption, and it
compiles ok, but when I try to use \openany in the document, I get an
error about @openrighttrue. I copied also the code about it and it
works! Follows the code to introduce \openany, \openright, \openleft
in any preamble, without comments.
Could someone check for hidden bugs? (I copied it without
understanding it completely)
\makeatletter
\newif\if@openleft
\@openleftfalse
\newif\if@openright
\@openrighttrue
\newcommand{\openright}{\@openrighttrue\@openleftfalse
\gdef\clearforchapter{\cleartorecto}}
\newcommand{\openany}{\@openrightfalse\@openleftfalse
\gdef\clearforchapter{\clearpage}}
\newcommand{\openleft}{\@openlefttrue
\gdef\clearforchapter{\cleartoverso}}
\def\cleartorecto{\clearpage\if@twoside \ifodd\c@page\else
\hbox{}\thispagestyle{cleared}%
\newpage\if@twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi}
\def\cleartoverso{\clearpage\if@twoside
\ifodd\c@page\hbox{}\thispagestyle{cleared}%
\newpage\if@twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi}
\makeatother
That's all.

I still don't see the need for redefining stuff
\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir} % openright is the default
\begin{document}
\openany
\frontmatter
\tableofcontents*
\listoffigures
\chapter{preface}
text
\chapter{intro}
text
\openright
\mainmatter
\chapter{main text}
\begin{figure}
\rule{5cm}{5cm}
\caption{a figure}
\end{figure}
\chapter{next chapter}
\end{document}

I'm using the standard latex book class, not memoir...

Lars Madsen
then why not switch to memoir, it would solve a lot of problems
Olaf Marzocchi
Of course, my next works will be done with memoir, but, when I tried
to simply change from "book" to "memoir" this one, Fancyhdr gave some
problems:
! LaTeX Error: Command \footruleskip already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.302 ...and{\footruleskip}{.3\normalbaselineskip}
The \onehalfspacing and \singlespacing commands (setspace package) are
not recognised anymore, too... I think I don't have much time to
correct all the problems, now. It's better to keep the \openany
definition I extracted and to start from scratch with the memoir class
next time.

memoir has its internal implementation both of fancyhdr and setspace.
So it is incompatible with them, but their functionality is already
present; look at the documentation.

the setspace is included inside memoir, though different names, and memoir then
disables the setspace package

Ok, since I got the desired output with my addition, I can experiment
and port the document to memoir in the free time. Next time it will be
memoir from start.
Thank you

I tried, but I didn't find any setspace replacement. At least, I
searched memman.pdf for "interline" and also for "spac*" but it was
useless.
Could you help me?
Thank you

because the memman is so large several people have printed it (my self
included), so Peter Wilson writes about the additions which are auto
loaded through the mempatch package, in the memmanadd.pdf file, you will
find it on CTAN.

Found!! I had locally an old (6 months :-/ ) version of the addendum.
Thanks.
