How to wrap the URL in the bibliography part | Typst | Page 1

Does anybody know how to get these URLs to wrap in the bib? It seems to be a problem with it using so many numbers. If I put a letter anywhere after the / it will wrap correctly (but ofcourse that would make the URL incorrect)

See my answer on https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/1271

Description Seems as though the link line wrapping no longer respects the block width in release 0.4.0. In previous versions it would break the links with dashes, but it doesn't do that anymore...

Ah, thank you. Ofcourse I should've checked the github issues ❤️

#

After putting #let mylink(url) = link(url,url.replace("/", "/" + str(sym.zws)).replace("-", "-"+ str(sym.zws)).replace(".", "."+ str(sym.zws)).replace("?", "?"+ str(sym.zws))) in my main it, and putting it in my .bib file it doesn't show the url in the pdf.

As pointed out in the comment below you can achieve the same effect with a show rule

#

Though I haven't tried

Unfortunately the bibliography block doesn't allow to iterate through the entries, or their url's yet. So I think until then a #show argument won't work

Yeah it’s kinda unfortunate

#

I think there should be some sort of bibliography.entry thing

#

Not sure if there is an issue for this already

you can always add the zero width spaces in the bib file, but then the links would presumably not be clickable anymore, which wouldn't be great

unless you have really weird names in there, #show regex("https://[^\s]+") might work

I think I'm almost there. I'm using this, combining some of the info I found, but it doesn't seem to work:

  link(url.text,url.text.replace("/", "/" + str(sym.zws)).replace("-", "-"+ str(sym.zws)).replace(".", "."+ str(sym.zws)).replace("?", "?"+ str(sym.zws)))
}```
This does add the extra zero width space, afaik. But that doesn't seem to help with breaking the lines.

#

I found the solution. I thought it wasn't working but it was, I just had some non https sources. By adding a second regex operator I fixed it :).

#show regex("http://[^\s]+"): url => {
  link(url.text,url.text.replace("/", "/" + sym.zws).replace("-", "-"+ sym.zws).replace(".", "."+ sym.zws).replace("?", "?"+ sym.zws))
}

#

After some cleaning up, I made this function so it adds a zero width space after every letter. But only for the display text, the url destination stays the same:

#let breaklink(url) = link(url, for c in url [#c.replace(c,c+sym.zws)])

#show regex("https://[^\s]+"): url => {
  breaklink(url.text)
}

#show regex("http://[^\s]+"): url => {
  breaklink(url.text)
}
