Page Layout ⇒ Remove blank page before nomenclature

[phoenix]

Hi all,

Relatively new to latex and I'm using the nomenclature package. I can run it correctly, but am having a problem with a formatting issue. I would like the nomenclature list to be listed directly below the title of that chapter that is printed by \chapter*{list of abbreviations} printed at the top of the page. How do I remove the blank page reliably, without resorting to \vspace ???

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{thesisclass}

\usepackage{nomencl} 
\renewcommand{\nomname}{} 
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makenomenclature

\begin{document} 
\prelimpages 
\chapter*{List of Abbreviations}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Abbreviations}
\printnomenclature[1in]

% text pages 
\end{document}

Hi,

why do you use \chapter* to format the title for the nomenclature section? The \printnomenclature command by default typesets the title "Nomenclature"; you can change that name using

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\nomname}{The_new_name}

and using the intoc package option (i.e., with

Code: Select all

\usepackage[intoc]{nomencl}

) the nomenclature section will be automatically included in the table of contents.

Yes, the [intoc] option was the detail I was missing. Once I added [intoc] then the entire section took on the correct formatting and I was able to include the \printnomenclature as a stand alone chapter. Thanks!
