Re: PDF Generation - URL problem
I have had the too long URL problem in the past and was monitoring
this thread. I changed Herbert's test file just slightly (attached), and
I don't see any difference in the way the 2 urls are treated. Both are
broken correctly with pdflatex, but in the other pdf and xdvi output,
they run off into the right margin and off the edge of the page.
I have the same problem with equations, and in that case I think I have
no alternative but to break into lines manually. But with URLs, where
line placement is more unpredictable, I'm concerned.

you do not understand what I mean. Attached your doc, run
it with pdflatex and everything will be as you expect.

PDF Generation - URL problem
I'm having a problem with my pdflatex generation of my lyx document. Any URLs that do not contain spaces (and are rather long) are not line wrapping at the right margin. In fact, they are printing straight off of the page. The URL name is usually the exact same as the URL (so that printed copies show the URL as well). Does anyone know how to correct this problem? Has anyone seen this before? I'd rather not go through the entire document and insert forced line feeds before every link that runs outside of the margins. Thanks, -- Jason L W Lynn [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: Re: PDF Generation - URL problem From: Jason L W Lynn [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Herbert Voss [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 12:05:39 -0600 I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear.

Perhaps I will have to keep the URL as standard text and put the link somewhere else (for those that are using the electronic copy). It seems to me that the implementation of a link in LyX is misleading, as the user would like the Name to behave as an anchor. Using ERT (or external postfiltering of the lyx file), I usually put external links as footnotes, anchored to the name, using the appropriate command in latex2html. Once turned in html, I get a real anchor. In that way, I get the hyperlink in electronic docs (either html or pdf) but the url remains printed in normal documents. In addition, printing as a footnote minimizes the risk of url hyphenation. However, it's not great when there are lots of urls in the page (but in that case, a html document would be better IMHO). -- Jean-Pierre

Re: PDF Generation - URL problem
An entirely non-LyX solution: Of course such long URLs are undesirable in general and that's why they invented tinyurl: http://tinyurl.com/ Copy and paste your long URL there, and they will generate a shorter (tiny) one for you.

Without the entire URL, there is no way a reader will know where to go. I guess there isn't a solution to this problem as of yet. Perhaps I will have to keep the URL as standard text and put the link somewhere else (for those that are using the electronic copy). It seems to me that the implementation of a link in LyX is misleading, as the user would like the Name to behave as an anchor. Using ERT (or external postfiltering of the lyx file), I usually put external links as footnotes, anchored to the name, using the appropriate command in latex2html. Once turned in html, I get a real anchor. In that way, I get the hyperlink in electronic docs (either html or pdf) but the url remains printed in normal documents. In addition, printing as a footnote minimizes the risk of url hyphenation. However, it's not great when there are lots of urls in the page (but in that case, a html document would be better IMHO). -- Jean-Pierre

you do not understand what I mean. Attached your doc, run
it with pdflatex and everything will be as you expect.

Re: PDF Generation - URL problem
An entirely non-LyX solution: Of course such long URLs are undesirable in general and that's why they invented tinyurl: http://tinyurl.com/ Copy and paste your long URL there, and they will generate a shorter (tiny) one for you.

PDF Generation - URL problem
I'm having a problem with my pdflatex generation of my lyx document. Any URLs that do not contain spaces (and are rather long) are not line wrapping at the right margin. In fact, they are printing straight off of the page. The URL name is usually the exact same as the URL (so that printed copies show the URL as well). Does anyone know how to correct this problem? Has anyone seen this before? I'd rather not go through the entire document and insert forced line feeds before every link that runs outside of the margins. Thanks, -- Jason L W Lynn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Install the url package (ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/url.sty). The urls should break automatically afterwards. I don't know what is wrong if you have installed it already. You can find out wether LyX did recognize the url package in Help->LaTeX-Configuration. Georg

Whoops... sorry... didn't copy the list... I have url.sty and am using it, but updated to the one you sent. Still no luck.
