Breaking other lines to accommodate a well-behaved URL 2. Breaking the URL itself On my computer with LyX 2.3.1, a long URL walks beyond the right margin if I usepackage{hyperref}, which of course we all do. However, if I put \sloppy at the end of the paragraph with the URL, that paragraph breaks lines so as to put the whole URL on a line without busting the right margin (xetex), or breaks the whole URL itself (LuaTeX). Then you put \fussy and the end of the next paragraph to bring back the nice typesetting you expect from LyX. If the result is too ugly, you might be able to make it a little bit better by cutting down on the % \tolerance that \sloppy implies: \sloppy\tolerance=1000% The point is, *anything* is better than letting a URL or any other text walk off the right edge of the paper, and these techniques prevent that unless the URL is longer than the paper is wide. Getting it to actually be pretty is lt as an exercise to the readder , but never forget legible trumps pretty every time. I'm attaching a 2.8K MWE (Minimum Working Example) with the preceding accommodations.

However, in this case even reducing it to Tiny doesn't do the job for default Memoir A4 fonts and margins. I'd use tinyurl.com. -- .. Les Denham

Re: Breaking long URL?
Hi Peter, happy to have been of help. But sorry: I can't remember where I found the breakurl package. I spent part of last summer learning the basics of LaTeX and how to customize LyX texts so that they could suit my needs and really I can't remember all the stuff I have checked when I encountered some problem and found a solution. By the way, I think this is a common problem with laTeX. There are so many packages and the environment grows in such an anarchic way, a positive anarchic way which is the result of the cooperation of several unconnected people, that it is difficult to know all what you need and when you need it. That's why the email list is very very useful because it saves you a lot of time.

Re: Breaking long URL?
Hi Peter, I have put in the preamble \usepackage{breakurl} and everything is fine. I use a normal .bib file and I do not biblatex. In my last document I have a long bibliography with a lot of refences to electronic documents and web pages, then there is plenty of URL in there and breaking of URLs works fine. Hope this can be helpful. Pierfranco 2008/12/2 Peter Baumgartner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi, > > How to break URL at non-letters without hyphen?

Breaking long URL?
Hi, How to break URL at non-letters without hyphen? I've turned on HyperRef Support on and also checked the box "break link over lines" but still the URLs do not break. Breaking of URLs works for me in the bibliography with biblatex but not with the normal bibtex bibliography. And in both cases it does not work within normal paragraphs. I've tried "breaklinks=true" in the option line of the PDF feature dialog but without success. What's wrong? ( OSX 10.4.11, LyX 1.6.0., TeXLive 2008) Peter
