LaTeX template: Fix bad vertical spacing after the bibliography

[badumont]

With the attached file test-biblio-header-spacing.md and the default LaTeX template, I observed that the space between the bibliography and the subsequent heading is too short in the PDF output (see bad.pdf). This comes from the implementation of the hanging indentation in the CSLReferences environment. This fix redefines \par instead of tweaking \everypar.

Can you explain why this works and why the original command didn't create the right spacing?

Not in details, sorry. I can only cite David Carlisle (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/119758/why-does-everypar-not-work): "LaTeX uses \everypar itself all over the place, to manage indentation (or not) after section headings, to preserve the paragraph shape of indented list structures, it is also reset in minipages and parboxes and tabular p columns so setting \everypar is tricky." What I propose simply does what we would expect \everypar to do: it redefines the \par command so that it sets \hangindent before doing its normal job. The \let command simply makes a copy of \par to avoid a looping call. Le Tuesday 20 April 2021 à 08:27:31AM, John MacFarlane a écrit :
