I have the following:

 \documentclass{article}
 \usepackage{multicol}

 \begin{document}
 \begin{multicols}{2}

 \section{}
 \begin{thebibliography}{99}

 \subsection{Differentiation}

 \bibitem{DifIntWiki}
   \emph{URL}

 \end{thebibliography}
 \end{multicols}
 \end{document}

It creates a section with a number, and the Bibliography follows on the next line. I'm interested in combining these two lines together, essentially turning the bibliography into a section. Is there any way to do this?

Additionally, I'm using the multicol package, so I'm wondering if there is a way to do this without affecting the columns.

  • It's very similar to the question here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6637/how-to-number-the-toc the solution there might be used, just with \section instead of \chapter. Or use the tocbibind package. – Stefan Kottwitz Dec 08 '10 at 20:39
  • @Stefan: To adapt the answer you pointed to, one would also have to know about \refname. – lockstep Dec 08 '10 at 21:00

Add the following to your preamble:

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\thebibliography}{\section*}{\section}{}{}

and remove \section{} in the text.

I'm not sure if using the \subsection command within the thebibliography environment causes adverse effects. Also, please clarify "without affecting the columns".

  • I'm displaying the bibliography in two columns. I don't want to affect this setup at all; it currently displays everything correctly in two columns. The only change I want is to basically combine the two lines I mention. – Matt Groff Dec 08 '10 at 20:48
  • @Matt: If the bibliography heading should be part of the first column, then my hack will suffice. But see Stefan's comment - especially consider to use a package like tocbibind. – lockstep Dec 08 '10 at 20:51
