This is the label which marks the bibliography item. You'll need it in order to refer to an entry. Look at sec 6.5.1 of the User Guide. > Also, when I compile to pdf I get a single line stranded at the bottom the > page. I didn't think this could happen in latex. How do I remedy it? You can (mostly) avoid such things ("orphans") by changing LaTeX's penalty values. I have good experiences with \tolerance 1414 \hbadness 1414 \emergencystretch 1.5em \hfuzz 0.3pt \widowpenalty = 10000 \vfuzz \hfuzz \raggedbottom However, sometimes orphans and widows are generated anyway (because LaTeX thinks it is still the best solution).
