Overflowing bibliography entries when using author-year citation style

[BouazzaSE]

Hello!

I am trying to write my PhD manuscript entirely in TeXmacs and right now I need author-year citations, and for now the way I got them working is by doing the following:

• enable the cite-author-year package;
• use one of the .bst files here: https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib, such as plainnat.bst. It also seems to work with custom .bst files generated using the custom-bib LaTeX package.

The only issue I have now is that entries with many authors seem to overflow in the bibliography section:

Is there a way to prevent entries from overflowing like that? I think maybe the issue is because TeXmacs isn’t allowing line-breaks in the entry labels in bold, in which case is there a way to make the labels be of the form [First Author et al.] instead?

Thank you!

This file needs to contain the initialisation and overloads as discussed in the manual (see example below) Activate the style file in your TeXmacs document: a) insert a bibliography into your docum…

After looking quickly at the post you linked to, I think that the post of @Pcstor might merit a highlight in the TeXmacs blog. @Pcstor, @jeroen, @mgubi, what do you think?
