Why isn't letbfrelax working for bibliography?

endfilecontents*

As I understand, the line renewcommandthebibliographyletbfrelaxoldthebibliography should remove any bold numbering in the bibliography. But if you compile it, you'll see that the bold numbering is still there.



What's going wrong?

          Your patching of thebibliography is wrong. First you patch



          renewcommandthebibliographyletbfrelaxoldthebibliography


          but then in the next line you do



          renewcommandthebibliographyletemrelaxoldthebibliography


          which means that the previous redefinition of thebibliography is going to be forgotten. Better just locally redefine bf and em.

            Just do both redefinitions together



            newcommandoldthebibliography
            letoldthebibliographythebibliography
            renewcommandthebibliographyletbfrelaxletemrelaxoldthebibliography


            I recommend the seemingly useless top line: if some package you load does a similar trick, you'd be informed. Changing old into OLD or whatever will solve the problem.



            It becomes less clumsy if you load xpatch and do



            usepackagexpatch % in the package loading part

            pretocmdthebibliographyletbfrelaxletemrelax

                          Just do both redefinitions together



                          newcommandoldthebibliography
                          letoldthebibliographythebibliography
                          renewcommandthebibliographyletbfrelaxletemrelaxoldthebibliography


                          I recommend the seemingly useless top line: if some package you load does a similar trick, you'd be informed. Changing old into OLD or whatever will solve the problem.



                          It becomes less clumsy if you load xpatch and do



                          usepackagexpatch % in the package loading part
