Remove page break before glossary

Question

I have a problem with glossaries package.

When I insert my glossary with \printglossary[title=Glossaire] it is inserted in page IV. But my glossary start on page V ; the printglossary make a page break before adding my glossary and I don't want that.

I try to use \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage before \printglossary and that doesn't work, I had again a page break.

I also try to give onepage or oneside options to my \documentclass and that doesn't work too.

How can I do to remove the page break before my glossary ?

Here is pages IV and V. And my Table of Contents.

The glossaries package provides the user command \glsclearpage which is used internally to implement the page break before the glossary. The default behaviour is as follows:

If the package option section=chapter has been used (default when used with classes that define \chapter), then \glsclearpage does \clearpage if \cleardoublepage hasn't been defined. If \cleardoublepage has been defined, then it checks the openright setting and does \cleardoublepage if true, otherwise it does \clearpage. If \if@openright isn't defined but \cleardoublepage is defined it does \cleardoublepage. (Of the top of my head, I can't remember the reason for this last case, but I vaguely remember there was a class that caused this decision. I think most classes that define \cleardoublepage also define \if@openright.)

If the package option section has been set to something other than chapter, then \glsclearpage does nothing as no page break is usually required in this instance.

If you want to change the default settings you can redefine \glsclearpage as required. For example, if you want to use \clearpage instead of \cleardoublepage you can do:

\renewcommand*{\glsclearpage}{\clearpage}

or if you want to completely suppress the page break (regardless of the section setting):

\renewcommand*{\glsclearpage}{}
