Text Formatting ⇒ Gaps appearing between words

[notnek]

I included the following reference in my document:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[fleqn]{amsmath}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{multirow,bigdelim}
\usepackage{blkarray}
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix}

\linespread{1.5}
\tolerance = 10000

\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{8mm}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{8mm}
\setlength{\topmargin}{-5mm}
\setlength{\textwidth}{145mm}
\setlength{\textheight}{220mm}

\begin{document}
\begin{thebibliography}{99}

\bibitem{quaternionshist2}
A. Burbanks,
{\it Quaternions in C++\/},
(Loughborough University, URL (cited on 7 April 2011):
\texttt{www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ma/gallery/quat/src/quat.ps}, 1996).

\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
\

and large gaps appeared between some of the words. There are no gaps if I remove the URL:

Code: Select all

\bibitem{quaternionshist2}
A. Burbanks,
{\it Quaternions in C++\/},
(Loughborough University, 1996).

Does anyone know why this is occuring and how to remove the gaps?

Hi notnek,

for URLs I recommend to use the url package and its command \url{...} instead of \texttt.
