Problem with the list of abbreviations and symbols

Post by mancy3 »

Hello,

I'm writing my masters thesis, for which I am using a template assigned by my faculty. With it, I had encountered a problem with the list of abbreviations and symbols. In the template, the title and both lists are shown on the same page, but it mine, there is an extra empty page between each of them. See figures below:

Since I'm usgin the template latex code to create my document, I can't figure out where this difference comes from. I attach below the part of the code where this list of abbreviations and symbls is created.

\cleardoublepage\phantomsection
\chapter*{List of abbreviations and symbols}
\renewcommand\listtablename{List of abbreviations and symbols}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listtablename}
\printacronyms[include=abbrev, name=Abbreviations]
\printacronyms[include=nomencl, name=Symbols]

All the acronyms are defined like:
\DeclareAcronym{QBO}{
short = QBO,
long = Quasi-Biennial Oscillation,
tag = abbrev
}

What can I do, to remove the empty pages between the title and the lists?

I thank you in advance for your help in solving this problem!

The \DeclareAcronym command is provided by the acro package. The heading of a list of acronyms is set as an unnumbered chapter heading for a class that supports chapters. By default, chapters start with a page break. You can find the option to change this setting in section 11.1. "The main command and its options" of the package manual. It can be used with the \acsetup command in the preamble for all acronym lists or as an optional argument to a \printacronyms command.
