LaTeX and bibliography headings

When using bibliographies (Litteratur in Danish) in LaTeX, it includes its own header – which is not added to the table of contents. My usual trick have been this line of code:

latex

addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Litteratur}

While it did add "Litteratur" to the TOC, it didn’t have a number – it just kind of hung around. So. Upon looking for a decent solution, I found the WikiBooks LaTeX book. It suggests the following:

latex

clearpage section{Bibliography}

renewcommand*{refname}{} begin{thebibliography}{99} ... end{thebibliography}

Slightly adapted to use an included .bib-file, it thusly become:

latex

clearpage section{Litteratur} renewcommand*{refname}{} bibliography{bibliografi}{} bibliographystyle{plain}

See WikiBooks’ LaTeX Tips and Tricks for the details.

Update 07/2009

After switching from article to report, the hack above stopped working. A new solution was called for.

Searching my local TeX–installation for hits, I discovered `tocibind`:

latex

usepackage[numbib,notlof,notlot,nottoc]{tocbibind}

The numbib ensures the bibliography gets numbered. The not*'s makes sure the lists of figures, tables and table of contents itself don’t get listed.
