Here is my LateX question:
I'm using (PDF)LaTeX with IEEEtran
documentclass and biblatex
/biber
as bibliography system. As mentioned in the IEEE example (two column paper), references should be balanced between columns on the last page. The presented \IEEEtriggeratref{}
command inserts a \newpage
command after the given reference to manually balance the references list. But, it's not working with biblatex
-> nothing happens.
How can I balance my references with biblatex in an equivalent way?
Here are my settings:
\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
[...]
\usepackage[backend=biber, % replace bibtex with biber (bibliography backend engine)
bibstyle=ieee, % write literature lists in IEEE style
citestyle=numeric-comp, % \cite uses a numeric key
sortcites=true,
maxbibnames=3
]{biblatex}
[...]
Here is the original natbib
/bibtex
example:
% trigger a \newpage just before the given reference
% number - used to balance the columns on the last page
% adjust value as needed - may need to be readjusted if
% the document is modified later
\IEEEtriggeratref{8}
\enlargethispage{<a negative dimension>}
sigplanconf.cls
— provides a macro that appears to be intended for this, but it’s not documented and doesn’t seem to work. So this is a real and recurring problem in the wild.
