BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Incorrect Alignment of Bibliography Items

[zidangus]

Hi I am a newbie to LaTeX and have come across a problem. It is that when a reference is long enough to go onto a second line, the second line is not lined up with the first line. I cannot seem to correct the problem, hence the reason why I am asking for help. I have pasted an example below.
This is what I have

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{}
\bibitem{6} D. G. Sarantites, P. -F. Hua, M. Devlin, L. G. Sobotka, J. Elson, J. T. Hood, D. R. LaFosse, J. E. Sarantites, M. R. Maier, Nucl. Inst. and Meth. A \textbf{381}, 418 (1996).
\end{thebibliography}

and it compiles as this

bibitem-bad.jpg (27.15 KiB) Viewed 5678 times

what I want it to look like is something like this,

bibitem-good.jpg (73.73 KiB) Viewed 5678 times

any idea what I need to do to correct this to what I want.

Hi everyone, I figured it out, I just needed to put a two digit number after the {thebibliography} environment. So I did this and it works.

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{99}
