I have a book with 14 chapters, two appendices (each chapter and appendix in a separate file), and a bibliography and index. This is set up as:
Preamble
\mainmatter
include chapters
\appendix
include appendices
\backmatter
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{mybibfile}
\small
\printindex
This works fine – except that the running head in the bibliography and index has the title of the last appendix on each odd numbered page. This is clearly wrong. How do I fix this up? I hadn't even noticed this until it was picked up by the proofreaders.
I am using the emptypage.sty
file to ensure that empty pages have no running head (as required by my publishers).
I'm using a class file provided by the publishers; the relevant section is
\newdimen\bibindent
\setlength\bibindent{1.5em}
\newenvironment{thebibliography}[1]
{\chapter*{\bibname}%
\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\bibname}{\MakeUppercase\bibname}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname}
\list{\@biblabel{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}%
{\settowidth\labelwidth{\@biblabel{#1}}%
\leftmargin\labelwidth
\advance\leftmargin\labelsep
\@openbib@code
\usecounter{enumiv}%
\let\p@enumiv\@empty
\renewcommand\theenumiv{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}%
\sloppy
\clubpenalty4000
\@clubpenalty \clubpenalty
\widowpenalty4000%
\sfcode`\.\@m}
{\def\@noitemerr
{\@latex@warning{Empty `thebibliography' environment}}%
\endlist}
This looks like it should work, but it doesn't.

This depends very much on your class file. If you are using the standards
book
class the definition is:If you are using
natbib
it again redefine the\bibliography
command:with
In both cases it would give the correct output, but the
\pagestyle{empty}
turns of the\markboth
command. If you point us the you class file we can take look.Otherwise redefine the
\cleardoublepage
command to insert the empty page style.
