The output is generally the way I want it except the date appears after the URL instead of before it. I'm trying to stick to APA standards here but the apacite package is a no go. I'm only having trouble with these two sites since they're not really scholarly sources.
and is there any way to stop it from trying to make each reference justified across the whole page? I'd rather the spaces not be inserted and it just cuts off the url to the next line when it no longer fits
Best Answer
You can use the
plainurl
bibliography style and use theurl
field, as follows:with bibliography file
t.bib
:More general changes to the bibliography formatting can be obtained using the custom-bib package. In that way you could avoid abusing the standard fields of
bibtex
.If you still get bad spacing in your bibliography, then you can typeset it ragged right. This is best done as follows:
i.e. loading the
ragged2e
and using the\RaggedRight
command appropriately bracket so that it only applies to the bibliography.\RaggedRight
produces less ragged text than LaTeX's standard\raggedright
command.
