Indenting the bibliography

Post by wheely_chairs »

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to change the indent of the bibliography - both the first line indent and the hang indent. I have managed to change the hanging indent by setting the 'labelsep' length (just before invoking the bibliography), but cannot find a dimension that will change the first line indent. Anyone any ideas? I am using the 'Harvard' package with the AGSM style (author/date).

Many thanks,

Chris

Indenting the bibliography

Post by wheely_chairs »

Ok so I've migrated to the natbib package (it's compatibiltity with Hyperef is great!) and managed to fudge a fix:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@biblabel[1]{\rule{\MyIndent+2em}{0em}}
\makeatother
However, the additional 2em is necessary to make the distance between the left margin and the first line equal to MyIndent(?). Anyone any better ideas? Coincidentally the \bibhang length becomes available with natbib...

Thanks,

Chris
