How to modify the typesetting of nomencl header?

Question

The nomencl package typesets the header of the nomenclature list as a \section* in the article document class. How can I change it to \subsection*?

Answer 1

You could load the etoolbox package and issue the following command (after having loaded the nomencl package as well, naturally):

\patchcmd{\thenomenclature}{\section*}{\subsection*}{}{}
