What I need is to allow a break within a long URL address, like http://www.abc.cz/bla/bla/onother_long_bla/final_bla. I want it could break a line just after the / characters. Using \% leads to an unwanted hyphen. GNU troff has \: for this purpose if I remember correctly. So far I formatted the text, visually found the suitable place for the break and insterted a space there. But, obviously, this isn't a good solution. Thanks Ruda
