I'm looking for a way to do a double page break in order to force empty pages. I'm using the book document class. The end result should look something like:
Elver,
Take a look at the \cleardoublepage
title (right page) empty page (left page) first heading and story (right page)
I thought this was the default in the book class.
It would be great if there was a way to force new sections to start only on the right page.
There is, but you'll need to look it up in "The LaTeX Companion, Second Edition" (TLC2).
Also, it seems to print the title along with the author name and the current date on the very first page. How can I make it not print the date?
In the preamble, put \date{}
What about dedication lines? They usually have a separate page all to themselves and are located in the very middle.
If you partition your book into \frontmatter, \mainmatter and \backmatter you can format the \frontmatter any way you want.
Both the built-in users guide and (particularly) TLC2 will answer a ton of questions. If you're going to be using LyX for serious writing I recommend keeping a copy of this book at your desk. You might also take a look at the memoir class. It has excepional flexibility so you can produce whatever format you want for your book.
HTH,
Rich
