BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ thebibliography title align

[archels]

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

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.

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.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[includeheadfoot,margin=3cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\title{Bibliography title align}
\author{archels}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle

  \tableofcontents

  \Blinddocument

  \begin{thebibliography}{9}
    \bibitem{fe} The Author, \textsl{Book Title}, Publisher (2010).
  \end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

But in case your way represents a solution for you, please be so kind and mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as clearly written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting). Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.
