BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Website bibliography has spaces

[azizever83]

Hi all,
My question is about how to make the output of the website as other types of bibliographies such as articles, books, etc. The problem is that the spaces are a bit large. If someone knows how to fix this issue, this will be very helpful.


Thanks in advanced..

The spacing is much wider because the website addresses (URLs) cannot be hyphenated. It would be the same with normal bibliography entries if long words could not be hyphenated.

It could be fixed by allowing breaks in URLs. It could be allowed manually by \allowbreak such as

Code: Select all

long\allowbreak address

or globally by extending url package hyphenation rules, such as here, in the document preamble:

Code: Select all

\expandafter\def\expandafter\UrlBreaks\expandafter{\UrlBreaks\do\a%
\do\b\do\c\do\d\do\e\do\f\do\g\do\h\do\i\do\j\do\k\do\l\do\m\do\n%
\do\o\do\p\do\q\do\r\do\s\do\t\do\u\do\v\do\w\do\x\do\y\do\z\do\&}

In the source code for the bibliography, i.e. in the .bib file.
