Hello,
I'm not sure this post is in the right section, as I'm using a simple thebibliography, not BibTeX. However, I have been able to find no information about my question in relation to either.
My issue is this: all of my section titles are left-aligned, but the "References" header is centered. How do I make it move over to the left? (Hacks using a negative margin acceptable!)
Thanks in advance,
Charles
BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ thebibliography title align

Can you provide a minimal working example showing this behavior? This kind of thing is very particular to individual document-classes, and can be affected by packages, etc. So a minimal (--do make it minimal--) example of your usage is necessary to diagnose it.
Re: thebibliography title align
Dear frabjous,
Thank you for pointing me in the direction which I should have tried myself in the first place.
The center alignment of toc and bib section titles turned out to be a side effect of tocbibind. I have eliminated this package and replicated its functionality manually. The titles now left-align, like the other section titles.
Hope this points someone else in the right direction in the future.

That is very unlikely as the code below shows.archels wrote:[…] The center alignment of toc and bib section titles turned out to be a side effect of tocbibind. I have eliminated this package and replicated its functionality manually. The titles now left-align, like the other section titles. […]
