Need Bibliography as a numbered section
James D. Oliver III
section, which is not the last section in the document. I.e.,
1. Introduction
.
.
.
2. More stuff
.
3. Bibliography
.
.
.
4. Other stuff
(First, I know this is stupid formatting, but this is what is required, so
don't argue about it.)
I am using LaTex and BiBTeX. As near as I can figure out, there are two
options, neither one of which I have been able to do:
a) modify the \bibliography command so that it recognizes the bibliography as
a section and number it appropriately (this seems like it might be a hard
thing to do).
b) modify the bibliography command so that it doesn't print out ANY heading,
then substitute my own \section{Bibliography} command (this seems it might be
easier).
I seem to remember many years ago people posing a smiliar question but can't
remember what was proposed. Any suggestions or pointers?

Well, actually not so very hard. Just copy the definition of the
\thebibliography comand from your class file (article.cls or
whatever you are using) into a new .sty file. There you change
the \section* command (quite in the beginning) into a \section
command (for report and book it is a \chapter* you have to change
into a \chapter, of course). Save this file and include it via
\usepackage. That's it.

What you need to do is change the {thebibliography} environment (or
\thebibliography command). It may sound strange, but this is the
official document layout interface. The definition appears in the
document class file (article.cls for an article), so is intended to
be changed. Copy that definition out and:
change \section* to \section
remove the \@mkboth{blah}{blah}
Save the result in your own .sty or .cls file.
For example,
{\section*{\refname
\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\refname}{\MakeUppercase\refname}}%
would become
{\section{\refname}%
Or (report/book)
{\chapter*{\bibname
\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\bibname}{\MakeUppercase\bibname}}%
becomes
{\chapter{\bibname}%
When you put the definition in a .sty file, remember to change
\newenvironment to \renewenvironment.
