You are aware of Insert->URL?
Thanks for the suggestion. This is a pretty good solution.
Unfortunately, the url or pathname is split between lines. So I get:
http://tuxmobil.
org/pcmcia_linux.html
and
/etc/network/
interfaces
But, they are splitting intelligently.
Chris.
You might want to take a look at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/32114/focus=32119 and
at the documentation at the end of the url.sty file. There are also
some LaTeX settings (sorry, don't recall them offhand) for convincing
LaTeX to be more or less anal about paragraph boundaries. Part of your
problem is that LaTeX does not automatically assume (I think) that an
unbreakable word at the end of an overlong line gets wrapped to the next
line -- it chooses between wrapping to the next line or violating the
right margin based on some rules for evaluating which is worse. Picture
a very long URL that would go one or two characters into the right
margin; wrapping it to the next line produces an extremely short
preceding line. There's a way to make LaTeX more reluctant to go into
the margin (and therefore less finicky about short lines), but that's
the setting I'm forgetting.
