Bibliography and Section Numbers

Post by inspire »

Hi,

I'm using the {thebibliography} environment to create a list of all cited book. One thing I noticed is that whenever I create a new section and cite a book, there will be the section number in the bibliography at the end of the cited book. For example:

Code: Select all

\subsection{section5}\label{sec:section5}  % has number 2.5.1

some text here \cite{book1}...

\begin{thebibliography}{x}
  \bibitem{book1} author, title, year.
\end{thebibliography}
In this example the bibliography will be displayed but at the end of the book line the section number 2.5.1 appears.

how can I disable this?

thanks!

For an adequate problem description kindly prepare a self-contained and minimal example that clearly reproduces the undesired behaviour. The presented code snippet is far from being helpful so that others can only guess and do random shots. This might not help in your situation.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Oh your hint with a minimal example finally solved the problem and I could figure it out on my own. Sorry for this, I will keep the minimal example in mind :)

It would be great if you would also post what was the cause or how you fixed it, because other users may come here via google with a similar problem.

I load the hyperref package without knowing the exact parameters :)

Code: Select all

\usepackage[
%  backref,  % <-- this caused the problem
  ...
]{hyperref}

So it can be preferable to read package manuals first and not just to use packages without knowing what they are for and what they do.
