BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Suppression of \section*{References}

[Kevin Steinhardt]

I wish to suppress the \section*{References} title printed by BibTex. My bibliography falls in the addendum of my document and there are sections after it (sections B, C and D). Writing \section{New title} gives me the section 'numbered' A, that I want, but that doesn't get rid of the'References' section written by BibTex underneath. I'm not the brightest chap when it comes to anything ending in -TeX; I'm using LyX to write my document but I can always convert it to a Plain LaTeX doc if needs be. I would be grateful for any ideas.

I had the same problem just a while ago. The only solution I could figure out was to do a

Code: Select all

\renewenvironment{thebibliography}{...}{...}

Check out the *.cls file for the document class you use. It should be enough to copy the definition there and delete / comment out the line

Code: Select all

\section*{\refname}

This is a quick & dirty solution, but one that works, however. Hope this helps.

I delved into my system to find article.cls, and at least my appendix numbering/lettering worked when I changed the appropriate line to read:

Code: Select all

{\section{\refname}

The bibliography section appears in the TOC too, but it means one can't include a little bit of text between the section title and the start of the references list. I've settled with having my anecdote post-references. Cheers for your help, 5gon12eder; much appreciated.

Will do, Thorsten. I've never been the best when it comes to forums, that and mailing lists; can't stand the things.
