thebibliography
\begin{thebibliography}{widest-label} \bibitem[label]{cite_key} ... \end{thebibliography}
The thebibliography
environment produces a bibliography or
reference list.
In the article
class, this reference list is labelled
“References”; in the report
class, it is labelled
“Bibliography”. You can change the label (in the standard classes)
by redefining the command \refname
. For instance, this
eliminates it entirely:
\renewcommand{\refname}{}
The mandatory widest-label argument is text that, when typeset,
is as wide as the widest item label produced by the \bibitem
commands. It is typically given as 9
for bibliographies with
less than 10 references, 99
for ones with less than 100, etc.
