I am running into issues with the layout of the footnotes in my document. I’m using texlive 2021, Lualatex and Biblatex/Biber, and for reasons have to include my references in the footnotes. However, the indent just makes it look horrible and untidy, and I have no clue how to fix it. I’ve tried [hang,flushmargin]{footmisc}, also \deffootnote, and a few other solutions I can’t remember any longer, but nothing works.
What it looks like:
I want the reference in the footnotes to be flush with the footnote mark so it looks more tidy and hopefully takes up less space. In other words, how do I make the big white space between the footnote mark and the reference disappear?
MWE and bibliography here, but since this is the first time I’ve made one, please let me know if something is missing.
Thanks in advance for any help!
