Thanks Paul,
That worked, but intermittently. Sometimes it wrapped URLs and text links, and
sometimes it let them stick way out to the left. There was no obvious
differentiating factor between when it worked and when it didn't. Lacking the
time to isolate the factors determining whether it worked, I put it aside for
awhile.
Thanks for the suggestion.
From the url.sty documentation (buried at the end of the file):
% You can change the penalties used for BigBreaks and Breaks by assigning
% \mathchardef\UrlBreakPenalty=100 \mathchardef\UrlBigBreakPenalty=100
You might try fiddling with these penalties (maybe reducing them
further) to "encourage" line breaks. It looks as though, by default,
breaks are only allowed at punctuation marks. If you have URLs with
every long stretches of alphanumeric characters, you may have to
authorize breaks at alpha characters (by adding them to \UrlBreaks or
\UrlBigBreaks, probably the former).
