Stop pagebreak for bibliography in memoir class.

add tag

5 years ago निरंजन

I am using memoir class with twocolumn option. I want to print the bibliography on the same page. I tried this, but this doesn’t work as expected.

\begin{filecontents}{ref.bib}
@book{knuth1984texbook,
    title={The texbook},
    author={Knuth, Donald Ervin and Bibby, Duane},
    volume={3},
    year={1984},
    publisher={Addison-Wesley Reading}
}
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass[twocolumn]{memoir}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{ref.bib}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum\cite{knuth1984texbook}

\let\oldclearpage\clearpage
\let\clearpage\relax
\printbibliography
\let\clearpage\oldclearpage
\end{document}

xxxxxxxxxx

\end{filecontents}

​
\let\oldclearpage\clearpage
\let\clearpage\relax
\printbibliography
\let\clearpage\oldclearpage
\end{document}
show all 23 lines

What is the proper way of doing it?

The bibliography would normally be inserted as an unnumbered chapter, including the page break that comes with the chapter.

A simple workaround to avoid the page is break is to use another sectioning level, for example an unnumbered section:

\documentclass[twocolumn]{memoir}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{ref.bib}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\lipsum[2] \cite{knuth1984texbook}

{
\section*{Bibliography}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
\printbibliography[heading=none]  
}
\end{document}

\documentclass[twocolumn]{memoir}\usepackage[style=authoryear,backend=biber]{biblatex}\addbibresource{ref.bib}\usepackage{lipsum}​\begin{document}​\tableofcontents\lipsum[2] \cite{knuth1984texbook}​{\section*{Bibliography}\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}\printbibliography[heading=none]  }\end{document}
show all 16 lines

(depending how long the bibliography is, one might want to also set the header)
