Hello,
what is the way to allow plan9 troff to break a line somewhere within
a single long word but do not use a hyphen at the same time?
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
