I am having an awkward problem with the Bibtex 'apalike' style.
(As an aside, I should comment that in my field, numbered
bibliographic references are not allowed by any journal, and even if
they were, I think they are dumb!).
The problem is that LaTeX refuses to break lines within the string
that \cite includes. For example, my .bbl file contains
\begin{thebibliography}{}
\bibitem[Browning et~al., 1989]{browning_etal_89}
Browning, G., Holland, W., Kreiss, H., and Worley, S. (1989).
\newblock An accurate hyperbolic system for approximately hydrostatic and
incompressible flows.
\newblock Unpublished Manuscript.
\end{thebibliography}
In the text I get these awful overful hbox's (sometimes 80 points too
wide) because LaTeX refuses to split [Browning et~al., 1989] in the
text.
So what can I do to hack on the .bbl file to convince LaTeX that it is
OK to do line breaks inside the citation reference?
Replies by e-mail, please!
