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,

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

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.
