Bibliography and listoffigures postion

Question

Whatever I try, I cannot "force" listoffigures and bibliography to be rendered in wanted position. They allways end up on next page, even if there is enough space in previous (wanted) page.

CODE:

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{book}

\chapter{Appendix}
\section{List of figures}
\renewcommand*\listfigurename{}  % remove title
\listoffigures{}

\chapter{Bibliography}
\renewcommand\bibname{}   % remove title
\begin{thebibliography}{99}

RESULT:

Chapter 6

APPENDIX

6.1 List of figures

*

*

*

*

*

(ACTUAL LIST)

(new page)

Chapter 7

Bibliography

*

*

*

*

*

(ACTUAL BIBLIOGRAPHY)

WANTED RESULT:

Chapter 6

APPENDIX

6.1 List of figures

(ACTUAL LIST)

(new page)

Chapter 7

Bibliography

(ACTUAL BIBLIOGRAPHY)

I hope you get the picture, what am I trying to say (those asterisks represent blank spaces).

Answer 1

It seems that you want to change the List of Figures and the Bibliography, which both are unnumbered chapters in the book class, to a numbered section resp. a numbered chapter. One way to do so is to use the etoolbox package to selectively change the definition of \listoffigures and thebibliography.

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{etoolbox}

\makeatletter

\patchcmd{\listoffigures}{%
  \chapter*{\listfigurename}\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\listfigurename }{\MakeUppercase\listfigurename}%
}{
  \section{\listfigurename}%
}{}{}
\patchcmd{\thebibliography}{%
  \chapter*{\bibname}\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\bibname }{\MakeUppercase\bibname}%
}{
  \chapter{\bibname}%
}{}{}

\makeatother

\begin{document}

\chapter{foo}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\rule{1cm}{1cm}% placeholder for graphic
\caption{A figure}
\end{figure}

\chapter{Appendix}

\listoffigures

\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{A01} A bibitem.
\end{thebibliography}

\end{document}
