Bad margins for hyperlinks in references of ResDoc

[DylanMG]

When I go to knit my ResDoc references with hyperlinks run into the margins.

See here:

and here for a really bad one!

Not seeing other issues that address this when searching "margins". Link to my index.Rmd can be found here.

I've seen this before, but I thought we'd resolved this. The demo resdoc doesn't have those margin issues on .bib URLs when I try it (example below). Internally, we replace the href links with \link{url-here}{link-text-here}. So, either you're on an older csasdown or something about your document is breaking that substitution.

i.e., this should work:

@article{swainbenoit2015,
 author = {Swain, D.P. and Benoît, H.P.},
 title = {Extreme increases in natural mortality prevent recovery of collapsed fish populations in a {N}orthwest {A}tlantic ecosystem},
 journal = {Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser.},
 year = {2015},
 volume = {519},
 url = {https://www.int-res.com/abstracts/meps/v519/p165-182/},
 pages = {165-182}
}

Internally, this is what happens (so, it would be frustrating, but this is one solution)

@article{francis2011,
    author = {R. I. C. C. Francis},
    title = {\link{https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10.1139/f2011-025}{Data weighting in statistical fisheries stock assessment models}},
  journal   = {Can. J. Fish. Aquat. Sci.},
    year = {2011},
    Volume = {68},
    Number = {6},
    Pages = {1124-1138},
}

Can you try building this example and see if it still happens for you?

When importing from Zotero, parts of the title that were in title case were imported like title = {How to write a {{Bad Title}}}, which would make R ignore the spacing of the text in the {{ }}. I just used a little hack title = {How to write a {B}ad {T}itle} and it seems to work. I guess it's an issue with how Zotero imports stuff to R, and then how csasdown renders it?

[seananderson]

Interesting, I didn't realize that. The usual best practice in a .bib file would be

title = {How to write a {Good} {Title}}

I.e., protect the whole word but don't connect them. That should work too, I would think. I didn't realize the stuff in the {} wouldn't wrap here. I'm sure there's some other solution but it's probably over my head.

If you want my honest answer, I just quickly trash the DOIs and URL lines in my .bib file for CSAS reports (except for the few cases where a link is critical) because I can't be bothered with this type of thing. :)
