Delete bibliography title

Post by LesJacques »

Hi !

First I'm french, so sorry for my english, i'll try to write something correct :D .

I have my bibliography with BibteX, I use Texnixcenter, i'm on windows.

I would like to delete the bibliographyt title. I mean i just want the references.

i.e :

For the moment i have
My document
blablablablablabla [1], blabla [2], blablablabla [3].

Bibliography
[1] : mmmmmmmmmmmm
[2] : mmmmmmmmmmmm
[3] : mmmmmmmmmmmm

and I want :
My document
blablablablablabla [1], blabla [2], blablablabla [3].

[1] : mmmmmmmmmmmm
[2] : mmmmmmmmmmmm
[3] : mmmmmmmmmmmm

Why ?
Because i use multicols for my bibliography, and the bibliography title is in the first column, so references on the second column appear at the same level as this title, and i want them to appear at the same level as the references in the first column, and that is impossible because of the "bibliography title" of my bibliography.
So i want to delete it, and create a bibliography title independant of those two collumn (to resume : independant of \bibliography).

I hope you've understood my problem and i'll be glad is someone can help me.

Thank you

Hi LesJacques,

welcome to the board!
It depends on your document class, and possibly on used (bibliography) packages. Which class do you use?

Hi, thanks !

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{report}

\usepackage[nottoc, notlof, notlot]{tocbibind}

Is that what you need ?

With a standard class and without additional packages it would be a bit complex redefinitio or patching of the bibliography environment. However, it would be easier to temporarily disable \chapter*, just within the scope of a group:

Code: Select all

\begingroup
  \def\chapter*#1{}
  \bibliography ...
\endgroup

It works well, no more "bibliography" before my references.

However there is now a "bibliography" on the top of the page, near the pages number.

Here is my code

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{report}

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}      
\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\usepackage[top=2cm, bottom=2cm, left=1.5cm, right=1.5cm]{geometry} 
\usepackage{setspace} 
\usepackage{multicol} 
\setlength{\columnsep}{0.5cm} 
\usepackage{mathptmx} 

\pagestyle{headings} 

\usepackage[nottoc, notlof, notlot]{tocbibind} 

\title{Mytitle}
\author{Me}
\date\today


\begin{document}

\maketitle
\noindent \textbf{ \underline{Abstract :} blablablabla.}

\begin{multicols}{2}

Blablablabla \cite{rtrdtfgh}.
blablablablablabla \cite{fyufky}. blablabla \cite{kgfcg}.
\end{multicols}


\title{References}
\begingroup
  \def\chapter*#1{}
\begin{multicols}{2}
%\renewcommand{\bibname}{}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{bonjour}
\end{multicols}
\endgroup

\end{document}


$ latex bonjour 
$ bibtex bonjour 
$ latex bonjour
$ latex bonjour 
You know how to manage this ?

Quick and easy would be setting the title to be empty:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\bibname}{}
The place in the header would be empty then.

Hi, i'm back with a new question.

I've changed the documentclass to "article", and it's not working anymore.
What's the solution for this document class ?
