how to omit blank pages in the front matter?

  • 1.  how to omit blank pages in the front matter?

    I get blank verso pages in doublesided PDF output (with FOP) after
    list of figures, list of tables, and preface. I would like to prune
    out all blank pages for paper efficiency.

    I do not get page breaks after the titlepage and after the table of
    contents. I'm the titlepage spec template, the t:titlepage-separator
    elements are empty, as are the before and after actions. I'm guessing
    that this has something to do with the t:titlepage-content block
    specifies content for the t:side="recto" with the verso side being
    empty. But cutting out the empty verso blocks will probably only mess
    things up further since there is no way to know the length of these
    lists in advance and thus unknown if it will actually go on a verso or
    recto page. Does this call for custom page masters?

    Any suggestions?
