Hello everyone,
This is not strictly a lyx question, rather LaTeX/BibTeX: I use the apalike quotation style ([author et al., year]). My problem is that bibtex seems to put protected spaces in there. It seems reasonable not to split a single reference across lines, but as four references can already (almost) fill a line, there are only three spaces left between them to block justify the text. My understanding is that LaTeX thinks it would look ugly to stretch those three spaces, and puts in a fifth reference, exceeding the right margin substantially. Not very nice either. Any way to let LaTeX adjust the with of a space, without allowing a linebrak at that place (a semi-protected space)? Or a way of saying that overflowing lines are really not appreciated? I seem to remember a similar question on the list a while ago, but was not able to find it, neither do I remember the answer to the problem (or if there actually is something that can be done, short of hacking the bibtex style files). Any help is greatly appreciated. Jan
