New CTAN package: ifoddpage
by CTAN Announcements 17 Sep '11

17 Sep '11

On Wed, 14 Sep 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted the ifoddpage package. Summary description: page-is-odd-or-even conditionals License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This LaTeX package provides a ifoddpage conditional to determine if the current page is odd or even. The macro checkoddpage must be used direct before to check the page number using a label. Two compiler runs are therefore required to achieve correct results. In addition the conditional ifoddpageoronside is provided which is also true in oneside mode where all pages use the odd page layout. This package got inspired from the 'changepage' package which provides (and uses) the same macros (checkoddpage and ifoddpage) for its main function of changing the page design mid-way in the document. Both packages can be used together, but the 'ifoddpage' should be loaded last in this case, otherwise the ifoddpageoroneside conditional will stop working. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ifoddpage . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ifoddpage (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
