In a previous posting I asked how to do line breaks within citations. I summarize the replies as there might be general interest. Thanks a lot to all who responded, Willi ************************************** From: nbeck@weber.ucsd.edu (Nathaniel Beck): Try breakcite.sty, available from your local style archive. I use it and it works well. And it is easy to turn off with an mbox. Since i started using it I haven't seen the ugly overfill box warning nearly so often. You still won't get a linebreak between author name and date (I don't think). Even if breakcite doesn't exactly meet the apa needs (I don't use apa) you can look at it to see how to modify to do what you want. BTW everyone will tell you about the new index.tex which indexes everything. David Jones has done everyone a service by giving the answer to all questions like your's. I personally am overwehmed by all the latex styles. I have hundreds on my machine, can't even remember what most do Regards Neal -- Neal Beck Dept of Politcal Science, UCSD beck@ucsd.edu Dislaimer: The Regents pay me (in scrip?) to distribute my opinions! ************************************** From: Ryu Young <ryoung@utdallas.edu>: Try "theapa" stuff available from: ftp.cc.utexas.edu pub/young Young ************************************* From: opbibtex@labrea.Stanford.EDU (Oren Patashnik) > I want to use apalike.bst or named.bst with LateX/BibTeX.

If you use abalike.bst, along the the apalike.sty LaTeX style (`apalike' goes in the `[...]' argument to the \documentstyle command) things should work fine. --Oren -- ------------------------------- W Hasselbring, University of Essen willi@informatik.uni-essen.de
