Dear Latex community,
So far I got a lot of answers here to my Latex questions, but now I am sort of stuck. I have maybe a quite trivial question. But so far I didn't get any answers. I am writing my Thesis with Latex and so far I managed quite well. My problem now is that I would like my "References" with a section number. I managed to put it in the table of content but it looks quite strange when I have for example:
5. Results
References
6. Appendix
So how could I make Latex giving the automatically generated "References" a section number?
I am really sorry, but so far I didn't find any answers and it would be great, if someone would know how to do that. Thank very much in advance,
Yours Stefan

Assigning Section number to "References"
Have a look at the tocbibind package. Its documentation will tell you what to do.

Assigning Section number to "References"
Hi Stefan,
welcome to the board!
Temporarily redefining \section* as \section would be an alternative, see Change starred command into unstarred.

Hello Thorsten and Stefan,
thank you very much for your replies. I tried the tocbibind package and it worked right from start. It is really difficult to get anything else from google with the keywords "Reference, Latex", if you have already built your Bibtex library! *g*
So thanks again for your quick replies!
