Change 'Bibliography' word in Scriblib Autobib bibliography

Question

I have the following scribble document that uses a bibliography:

#lang scribble/base

@(require scriblib/autobib)

@(define-cite cite citet gen-bib)

This is a citation@cite[the-citation].

@(define the-citation
   (make-bib #:title "Hello"
             #:author "World"
             #:date "1337"))

@gen-bib[]

The document's result looks something like this:

The bibliography section is title 'BIBLIOGRAPHY', but I would actually like it to be titled 'REFERENCES', is this possible with scribble, or do I have to drop into latex hacking?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible with Scribble (or rather, scriblib/autobib).

The gen-bib function you used (defined with define-cite), has an option #:sec-title, that you can use to set the title for your bibliography. If you change that line to:

@gen-bib[#:sec-title "References"]

The you will get the same document, except for a 'REFERENCES' section rather than a 'BIBLIOGRAPHY' one.

The code will look like:

#lang scribble/base

@(require scriblib/autobib)

@(define-cite cite citet gen-bib)

This is a citation@cite[the-citation].

@(define the-citation
   (make-bib #:title "Hello"
             #:author "World"
             #:date "1337"))

@gen-bib[#:sec-title "References"]
