I am writing the appendix for my thesis in which I am briefly reviewing some reference publications. I would ideally want to name the sections after the publications with the author list captured within brackets, followed by the year of publication. This is recommended for ease of browsing. For instance
\section{Review of "Some Publication Title" \[authored by Tom, Dick and Harry\] Published in 2000}
I am not able to get past the compilation if I use the above format, as I get the following error:
! Undefined control sequence.
Can anyone point me to the correct way of formatting this section heading? I have not provided a MWE in this case, as I believe that this question is quite generic.
TIA
Vinod
P.S:
MWE follows
\documentclass[11pt]{report}

Best Answer
This works without much ado.
Typesetting square brackets can be done with
[
and]
without any further requirements.\[
and\]
are used for the display math environment, which was formerly written$$...$$
(being deprecated now!)Does it look nice? No!
Edit
Since the OP provided an MWE, the error seems to be the
quotes
package. It should be replaced withcsquotes
.
