I'm getting an empty page between the last page of the book and the index. The reason seems to be an over-full last page of text. I'm already using openany.

In the following example, all the "bla" lines are on the first page, the second page is blank (erroneously), and the third page contains the index. Commenting one line of "bla" fixes the situation: the first page contains the lines of "bla" and the second page contains the index. Is there anything else I can do? (Is this a bug I should report?)

\documentclass[a4paper,openany,twoside,notitlepage]{tufte-book} \usepackage{makeidx} \makeindex \title{Test} \author{Alex Schroeder} \begin{document} \maketitle% this prints the handout title, author, and date \newthought{Test}\index{Test}. bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \printindex \end{document}

  • When I tried your document here with pdflatex and makeindex, it placed one bla on page two and the index started on page 3. Can you add \listfiles to the preamble of your document and then paste the dates/versions of all the packages you're using (from the bottom of your .log file)? Commented Apr 19, 2013 at 18:02
  • The problem seems due to the \begin{fullwidth} with which \theindex starts. Commented Apr 19, 2013 at 20:10

That's odd.

\enlargethispage{5pt} \printindex 

Is a work around, but it shouldn't happen really....
