Remove pagebreaks before bibliography

[r]

Readers,

A main bibliography is successfully applied. A second bibliography is
applied as an appendix:

...
\usepackage{multibib}
\newcites{di}{~}
...
\appendix
...
\input{file1}

File1 contains:

\chapter{heading}
Some introductory text
\nocitedi{*}
\bibliographydi{bibliographyown}
\bibliographystyledi{plainnat}

The second bibliography is produced as requested except that there is
a pagebreak between "some introductory text" and the bibliography,
i.e.:

Appendix ...

heading

Some...

\pagebreak

bibliography entries.

Is it possible to remove the pagebreak please?

That is correct. The \bibliography<s> commands in multibib just use the standard thebibliography environment. You don't say what document class you are using, but the default book and report classes define \thebibliography to include \chapter*{bibname} which will start a new page (the default article class uses \section*{\refname} which does not).

The simplest fix is to copy the definition of \thebibliography from whatever class file you are using into your own document (or private style file) and change the definition to use \section* instead. This is better style anyway: bibliographies are not chapters, and should not rank at the same level. For example assuming book.cls you would need:

\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]
     {\section*{\bibname}%
      \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\bibname}{\MakeUppercase\bibname}%
      \list{\@biblabel{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}%
           {\settowidth\labelwidth{\@biblabel{#1}}%
            \leftmargin\labelwidth
            \advance\leftmargin\labelsep
            \@openbib@code
            \usecounter{enumiv}%
            \let\p@enumiv\@empty
            \renewcommand\theenumiv{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}%
      \sloppy
      \clubpenalty4000
      \@clubpenalty \clubpenalty
      \widowpenalty4000%
      \sfcode`\.\@m}
     {\def\@noitemerr
       {\@latex@warning{Empty `thebibliography' environment}}%
      \endlist}
\makeatother

The only changes are to change \newenvironment into \renewenvironment, and change \chapter to \section.

If you are using some other document class that you have not told us about, use the same principle of copy-and-modify.

The book class is being used.

I copied the commands above into the preamble section of the root
document; thank you. The effect of this answer is to produce the
bibliography as a sub-section of a preceding appendix, which is not
wanted. The requirement is for this secondary bibliography to appear
as a chapter in the table of contents and also as a page style to
resemble the appearance of preceding appendices.

There is a conflict here. Your code showed the bibliography as coming after the appendix heading amd indented so that it implied it was subsidiary to the appendix:

\chapter{heading}
    Some introductory text
    \nocitedi{*}
    \bibliographydi{bibliographyown}

That is, the bibliography is a child of the appendix. This is normal: multiple bibliographies would not normally be at chapter level.

Now you are saying you want the bibliography to be a chapter-level in the ToC, but you want it to look like an Appendix...but in your example above it was subsidiary to the appendix heading. You can't have it both ways; and having a chapter-style heading appear in mid-page would look very odd.

You can make the ToC entry look like a chapter-level just by adding

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{title text}

but to make a chapter layout appear in mid-page with no page-break would mean creating a private version of the \chapter command omitting the page-break code, which might look like this

\newcommand\fakechapter{\@afterindentfalse\secdef\@chapter\@schapter}

(untested as I'm away from base right now) and using \fakechapter in the redeinition of thebibliography.

To clarify further, the root document contains:

...
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{bibliography}
\appendix
...

I want the secondary bibliography to appear as a chapter level, as
achieved with the main bibliography. Other appendices are formatted to
appear in the table of contents as a chapter level entry.

So the preamble previously provided would become:

\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]

\newcommand\fakechapter{\@afterindentfalse\secdef\@chapter\@schapter}

\makeatother

But that means the appendix headings and the bibliography headings will look the same (apart from the letter-value of the appendix). This will look very strange, but certainly possible.
 

So the preamble previously provided would become:

\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]

\newcommand\fakechapter{\@afterindentfalse\secdef\@chapter\@schapter}

No, not at all. The renewed thebibliography will be as I suggested, but instead of using \section, use the \fakechapter I suggested. This will make it appear as a chapter style, but without the pagebreak, as you requested.

Not to me! The table of contents looks satisfyingly consistent.

Implemented successfully, thank you.
