With groff 1.17 or newer you can say http://\:\%www.\:\%unicode.\:\%org `\:' gives a zero-width break point (this only exists in groff), `\%' prevents hyphenation of the next word. BTW, I'v seen the following breaks in some recent American magazines: http://www.unicode .org At first it looks disgusting, but after some thinking I believe it is not a bad idea. A leading dot never occurs in normal text, so it emphasizes that the URL is not yet completed and continued on the next line. Werner
