Extra lines in bibliography

Hello,
I have been trying to add extra lines within my bibliography entries. I have read all the exchanges on the forum that I found on this issue, even the ones from years ago.
I am not a programmer, but have, over the past few months, managed to modify the Nature style to fit my needs more precisely by reading different comments.

The one thing left that I have not been able to do is inserting the breaks. I've tried using display block in different ways, as suggested in different comments, but can't get it to work.

I think part of my problem is that the Nature style I am using is one of the "compacted" ones, with lots of macros, and this makes it difficult to figure out where to add the "display block" commands.

Each bibliography result is in one big block, but I'd like the authors and journal names, and abstracts to be on different lines, and with a blank line in between each.

Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot!
  • We'd have to see your modified style and know what you want to achieve in terms of news lines (put the style on hastebin.com or pastebin.com or the like, not somewhere we need to download it to look, please)
  • Thanks adamsmith.
    Here's my modified style:

    THIS IS THE STYLE I NEED (an empty line between the title and authors, the journal on a new line, an empty line between the journal and DOI, an empty line between the DOI and the abstract, and three empty lines in between entries. (The entire abstract is lined up correctly in the word doc, that's not a problem)):

    I would actually also need the title to be underlined, there's not much I found on the forum on underlining, I think I tried the style editor for that a few months ago, but couldn't get it to work. I don't know if you would be able to help me on that, too?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

  • Hello again,
    does anyone think they can help me with the extra spaces?

    Thanks a lot in advance

  • Sorry for letting this slip. A couple of things:
    1. you can't combine second-field-align with using display elements, sorry.
    2. you should create groups around every set of elements you want to appear with a line before&after and then use display="block" on every group. Make sure you don't have yet another group around those.
    3. For underining, use text-decoration="underline"
