It was done this way because of the difficulty of breaking lines in a good place with long URL's. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2019-03/msg00007.html I agree a short space at the end of the line doesn't look good. I've worked out the following change which means that the extra space at the end of the line won't always be added: diff --git a/doc/texinfo.tex b/doc/texinfo.tex index af857cbbb..40fa95c49 100644 --- a/doc/texinfo.tex +++ b/doc/texinfo.tex @@ -3099,11 +3099,14 @@ end \def\wordbefore{before} \def\wordnone{none} -% Allow a ragged right output to aid breaking long URL's.
