BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Remove blank Page before References

[nannaqueenie]

I'm using WinEdt 7. I would like to know how can I eliminate the blank page that appears before my references. This is my code (.tex):

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\bibname}{
  \clearpage\pagestyle{myheadings}%
  \markboth{}{}%
  \renewcommand{\bibname}{REFERENCIAS BIBLIOGRÁFICAS}%
  \setboolean{SetDSpace}{false}%
  \chapter*{\bibname}%
  \addcontentsline{toc}{extrachapter}{\bibname}%
  \setboolean{SetDSpace}{true}%
}

The other code is in a custom class file but it doesn't displays well, I mean it doesn't displayed neither the title nor the link to the table of contents. So I created the above code and put it in the main .tex file. This is my class code:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\bibname}{REFERENCIAS BIBLIOGR\'AFICAS}%
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{%
  \renewcommand{\bibname}{REFERENCIAS BIBLIOGR\'AFICAS}%
  \clearpage\pagestyle{myheadings}%
  \markboth{}{}%
  \setboolean{SetDSpace}{false}%
  \chapter*{\bibname}%
  \addcontentsline{toc}{extrachapter}{\bibname}%
  \setboolean{SetDSpace}{true}%
  \list{\@biblabel{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}{%
    \settowidth\labelwidth{\@biblabel{#1}}%
    \setlength{\parsep}{\BaseDiff\baselineskip}%
    \setlength{\itemsep}{0ex}%
    \setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
    \addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
    \@openbib@code
    \usecounter{enumiv}%
    \let\p@enumiv\@empty
    \renewcommand\theenumiv{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}%
    \sloppy
    \clubpenalty10000
    \@clubpenalty \clubpenalty
    \widowpenalty10000%
    \sfcode`\.=1000\relax}
    {\def\@noitemerr
    {\@latex@warning{Empty `thebibliography' environment}}%
    \endlist\clearpage}

Thanks!

A crossposting is always contra-productive. But there is nothing really against it as long as it is mentioned. This means that a direct link has to be added. So other users who want to help are preserved from double efforts and waste of time.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

The problem here is that you redefined \bibname, which is just for the name of the bibliography which goes into the heading. So \chapter*{\bibname} actually nests \chapter* calls: \chapter*{...\chapter*{...}...}. Only that you redefined `\bibname` again inside, prevents an infinite recursion.

Instead, redefine thebibliography similar to the class file. So, start your own code also with

Code: Select all

\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{%
...
