BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Break long URLs in bibliography

[marek_step]

Hello all!


Thesis is nearly finished. I only have two problems, one on topic one off topic.

I have a bibliography with over 350 entries. The long URLs do not break. Perhaps somebody could help? I made up a little example, as it is use here, to illustrate my problem. All books have a problem in the original bibliography. Here in this minimal example only five have an "Overfull \hbox" problem.

The file "bibtex_test.tex":

Herewith I show you[\footcite{ikegami2005bonds}] some bibliography[\footcite{tsubaki1971zeami}] entries.[\footcite{tierney2014bonsai}]

\section{Here a Chapter}

And here an other chapter,[\footcite{haikasoru2013liu}] please read:[\footcite{imari2014wiki}]


\section{An other Chapter}

And here some other entries,[\footcite{bowman2013columbia}] which does not fit into[\footcite{arbuckle2014reduction}] the bibliography,[\footcite{artisticnippon2014banko}] because the URLs are too long ... [\footcite{glendale2014tamba}] [\footcite{rachel2014curating}] Some of the entries are fitting now into the biblography, because they have only an one number entry. In the original the books go up to 350.[\footcite{types2014wiki}]

Now my off-topic question: I would like to insert a little geographical locator to the right of my text for some cities: a little square in the country (China or Japan) and the city in the bigger surrounding square. (You see such kind of locators in newspapers). How to produce these little locators? I looked into the Openstreetmap pages but have no clue ... Perhaps somebody could give a tip or a link.

Sorry for this long posting and best greetings from Munich

Hi marek,

add

Code: Select all

\setcounter{biburllcpenalty}{9000}% Kleinbuchstaben
\setcounter{biburlucpenalty}{9000}% Großbuchstaben

to your preamble after loading biblatex. Hyphenation of url-fields works a bit different with biblatex.
Zeilenbrüche in Bibliografielinks (german)


Concerning the other thing, i can't imagine the output right now or in other words i don't understand the problem right now. Can you add a screenshot (or something similar) to show what you are trying to achieve and more important: where? Best done in a new thread to keep the place clean.

[marek_step]

Thank you Johannes

This was a fast answer! And thank you for the link. I was unable to find this solution in the net.

What concerns the "locator": this is not a latex related question. I have no idea, where to insert this question on this forum in a new thread. Perhaps you could give me a hint to produce many of this kind of maps:

Best greetings!

Well, that is really an off-topic question. I have no expertise in this field.
The picture you linked to is free to use (at least the spanish reads like that, tough i don't speak spanish) so you could actually use that in your document.
If you have a blind map without any markings, you could use tikz to print the image and set marks on top of that.
I just read up on Keyhole Markup Language, this might be worth a look.

btw: you write from germany (or north dakota), but du you actually speak german? IF not, i can stop linking to helpful german content.
