General ⇒ Problem with URLs and \bibitem

[andresl]

Hi.
I'm writing bibliography with the \thebibliography tag. I need to write an item for an URL. I'm writing it like this:

Code: Select all

\bibitem[WWW0007]{WWW0007}
IBM Releases Platform Resource Scheduler for OpenStack Cloud Management \\
\url{https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/ibmsyssw/entry/ibm_releases_platform_resource_scheduler_for_openstack_cloud_management?lang=en}

But I'm getting this error:

Underfull\hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph lines 312--314.

If I erase the \url tag it gets solved but I do (of course) need the URL. I've been told to use \thebibliography so this is a must.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi andresl,

welcome to the forum!

It seems that the URL cannot be wrapped in a good way at the end of the line. It's like a very long word. You could tell the \url command to allow breaking at more places. Here is an example, written by Bes on TeXwelt.de, where he added the possibility to break at arbitrary small letters - he extends the \UrlBreaks macro:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\appto\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}
\begin{document}
\show\UrlBreaks

Eine URL: \url{http://texwelt.de/wissen/fragen/5303/%
