\section{Detecting Odd and Even Pages}

\IfThisCommonFirstRun{}{%
  The information in \autoref{sec:maincls.oddOrEven} applies equally to this
  chapter. So if you have already read and understood
  \autoref{sec:\ThisCommonFirstLabelBase.oddOrEven}, you can skip ahead to
  \autopageref{sec:\ThisCommonLabelBase.oddOrEven.next},
  \autopageref{sec:\ThisCommonLabelBase.oddOrEven.next}.%
}

In two-sided documents we distinguish left and right pages. Left pages always
have an even page number, and right pages always have an odd page number. %
\IfThisCommonLabelBase{maincls}{%
  Identifying right and left pages is equivalent to identifying even- or
  odd-numbered pages, and so we normally refer to them as even and odd pages
  in this \iffree{guide}{book}.

  % Umbruchkorrekturtext
  \iftrue%
    In one-sided documents, the distinction between left and right pages does
    not exist. Nevertheless, there are still pages with even and odd page 
    numbers.%
  \fi%
}{%
  \IfThisCommonLabelBase{scrlttr2}{%
    As a rule, letters will be set one-sided. However, if you need to print
    letters using both sides of the paper or, in exceptional cases, are
    generating real two-sided letters, it may be useful to know whether you
    are currently on an even or odd page.%
  }{}%
}


\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{ifthispageodd}\Parameter{true part}\Parameter{false part}
\end{Declaration}%
If you want to determine whether text appears on an even or odd page,
\KOMAScript{} provides the \Macro {ifthispageodd} command. The \PName{true
	part} argument is executed only if you are currently on an odd page. 
Otherwise the \PName{false part} argument is executed.

\begin{Example}
  Suppose you simply want to show whether a text will be placed onto an
  even or odd page. You may achieve that using
\begin{lstcode}
  This page has an \ifthispageodd{odd}{even} 
  page number.
\end{lstcode}
  This results in the output
  \begin{quote}
    This page has an \ifthispageodd{odd}{even} page number.
  \end{quote}
\end{Example}

Because the \Macro{ifthispageodd} command uses a mechanism that is very
similar to a label and a reference to it, at least two {\LaTeX} runs are
required after each change to the text. Only then will the decision be
correct. In the first run, a heuristic is used to make the initial choice.

\iffree{}{In \autoref{sec:maincls-experts.addInfos},
\DescPageRef{maincls-experts.cmd.ifthispageodd}, advanced users can find more
information about the problems of detecting left and right pages, or even and
odd page numbers.}%
