Hi,
I am currently using latex, with the book document class, for a big CS project. It's about 150 pages right now, but I noticed something very odd.
Randomly about half way through the document, the page formatting breaks. When I do a
\chapter{newchapter}
about half way through this, it creates about a page of space between it and all of the sections. E.g.:
GOOD:
PAGEHEADER
CHAPTER
SECTION #1
Text goes here
This works fine up until about half way through the document, when this starts to happen on all following chapters/sections:
BAD:
PAGEHEADER
CHAPTER 2
SECTION #1
Text goes here.
I do not know why this happens, but no amount of \newpage, page breaking, will fix this. The section directly before it has a lot of embedded PNGs, but I don't see why that would cause a formatting issue.
When playing with some of the random \setlength commands, I managed to make a bit of a difference but not really.
Is there a way to force a document to reset its formatting?
EDIT
So I figured it out, I did a \newpage after the Section1 text and fixed the issues, seems that latex was trying to group both the first section and the following section with the image. I don't know why, but it works.
