I have used hangparas
from the hanging package, tried setting bibhang
, setting parskip
and leftindent
to no avail. I have an author-year citation format and plainnat.bst
and savetrees
package if this matters…
Most help I find on this topic suggests use of biblatex but as I have not yet made the switch. I still find bibtex's multiple bibliography style option very useful so would like to stay with bibtex for now.
Edit: For example, I was hoping this would help, but it does nothing for the bibliography:
\begin{hangparas}{.25in}{1}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{references}
\end{hangparas}
I also tried
\setlength\parskip{\baselineskip}
\leftskip 0.1in
\parindent -0.1in
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{references}
and
\setlength\bibhang{2em}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{references}
But there is no hanging indentation to be seen.

If you had posted a complete minimal example, you probably would've had a solution many hours ago. And, needless to say, if this solution doesn't work for you, you really need to post a similar example of your own that demonstrates the problem.
At any rate, this works for me:
In other words,
savetrees
allows you to set various options that determine how many trees you're going to save. In this case, thebibliography=normal
option preventssavetrees
from modifying the bibliography formatting.
