[Tex/LaTex] How to change Bibliography heading

bibliographiessectioning

Let's take article document class with bibliography:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Some text \cite{key01}.
\begin{thebibliography}{9}% 2nd arg is the width of the widest label.
\bibitem{key01}
Beeblebrox, Zaphod, Galactic University Press
etc. etc.`
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

Above list of bibliography entries there is References which looks like generates with: \section*{References} .

I would like it to look like default text.

How to change it ?

Should I \renewcommand to overwrite default \section ? If yes, how to revert default \section later ? If other more elegant option exists, could you provide ?

(pdflatex)

Best Answer

You can use the \let\store\macro command, which saves the current definition of \macro to \store.

The Code

\documentclass[parskip]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[margin=15mm]{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\section{test}

\let\oldsection\section
\renewcommand*{\section}[1]{#1}

\section{new test}

\let\section\oldsection

\section{reverted?}

\end{document}

Edit 1: Much easier, fully working approach: use options inside \renewcommand{\refname}{}.

The Code

\documentclass[parskip]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[margin=15mm]{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\section{test}

\renewcommand{\refname}{\normalfont\selectfont\normalsize References} 

\section{new test}

  \begin{thebibliography}{depth}
    \bibitem{atuning}Volker Wollny (Hrsg.): {\it Amiga--Tuning}.
                     Interest--Verlag, Augsburg, 1996.
  \end{thebibliography}

\section{reverted?}

\end{document}
