Hanging indent for bibliography items

TeX - LaTeX Asked by user3125347 on September 2, 2021

Just wondering, how would I reproduce this indentation formalism for certain scientific Journals:

enter image description here

Currently for the following LaTeX input

Draine, B. T., 2003, ARA&A, 41, 241
Dufour, R. J. 1984, in IAU Symp. 108, Structure and Evolution of the Magellanic
Clouds, ed. S. van den Bergh & K. S. de Boer (Dordrecht: Reidel), 353
Fitzpatrick, E. L., 1986, AJ, 92 , 1068
Fitzpatrick, E. L., 1999, PASP, 111, 63

I am seeing this:

Would be nice to see a little indentation going on for the Dufour reference. Any pro tips would be warmly welcomed!

Please note (for others who may read this) that this is not the recommended way to format a bibliography, but in a pinch, it does what you want.

Manually creating hanging paragraphs

The hanging package provides a hangparas environment that can do what you want. Notice I've removed the trailing from your code. should not be used to create new paragraphs.

documentclass{article}
usepackage{hanging}
begin{document}
begin{hangparas}{.25in}{1}
Draine, B. T., 2003, ARA&A, 41, 241

Dufour, R. J. 1984, in IAU Symp. 108, Structure and Evolution of the Magellanic Clouds, ed. S. van den Bergh & K. S. de Boer (Dordrecht: Reidel), 353

Fitzpatrick, E. L., 1986, AJ, 92 , 1068

Fitzpatrick, E. L., 1999, PASP, 111, 63
end{hangparas}
end{document}
