General ⇒ Bibitem too long?

[tdc]

Hi,

i have this entry in my bibliography

Code: Select all

\bibitem{img:anatomy} http://downloads.cas.psu.edu/4h/AerospaceSupp/Activities/Airplanes/Overview/PlaneLesson2.htm

and it creates an overfull hbox badbox error

if i hyphenate it (i tried with the hyphen Over\-view) it still complained... i've also tried using \mbox

the only thing that seems to work is losing the last 9 characters...

Does anyone have any suggestions (it does actually compile correctly, it just whines that there's a badbox....)

Cheers, TIm

Hi Tim,

there's no interword space to stretch or shrink the url, so perhaps accept an underfull box if you hyphenate manually.
Consider to use the url package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{url}
...
\bibitem{img:anatomy} \url{http://downloads.cas.psu.edu/4h/AerospaceSupp/Activities/Airplanes/Overview/PlaneLesson2.htm}

Places where urls are allowed to break could be customized. Use \urlstyle{same} if you want your normal text style instead of the typewriter style.
