<h3>Format of numbers in the bibliography</h3>
<p>By default, LaTeX makes entries in the bibliography look like:
<blockquote>
[1] Doe, Joe et al. Some journal. 2004.<br>
[2] Doe, Jane et al. Some journal. 2003.
</blockquote><p>
while many documents need something like:
<blockquote>
1. Doe, Joe et al. Some journal. 2004.<br>
2. Doe, Jane et al. Some journal. 2003.
</blockquote><p>
<p>This sort of change may be achieved by many of the “general”
citation packages; for example, in <i>natbib</i>, it’s as simple as:
<blockquote>
<pre>
\renewcommand{\bibnumfmt}[1]{#1.}
</pre>
</blockquote><p>
but if you’re not using such a package, the following internal
LaTeX commands, in the preamble of your document, will do the job:
<blockquote>
<pre>
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\@biblabel}[1]{\hfill#1.}
\makeatother
</pre>
</blockquote><p>
