URL wrapping

URL wrapping

[Adam Duck]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 571 bytes --]

Hello list,

I'm writing my diploma thesis and have gotten into a problem with URLs
in my references.  As you can see in my example, \useURL and \biburl
don't wrap...  also, using \hyphenatedurl doesn't help much.  I've read
through the archives, but all postings there don't help.  Alan Bowen
has/had the same problem described in
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070125.173931.a70b45d3.en.html

The problem is getting worse by the fact that I'm using BibTeX to
produce the references.  So, I don't have that many tweaking
possibilities.

Help...


cu, Adam.

The URL in the publications doesn't warp: \cite[BMPINTERBC].  And this one, too, doesn't
wrap: \useURL{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Thisisaveryveryveryverylongurlthatisnotwrapped.png}.
And this one, isn't better: \hyphenatedurl{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Thisisaveryveryveryverylongurlthatisnotwrapped.png}

The problem is with URLs in general: there are not that many safe
places in an URL for inserting hyphenation points.

I have found that often if you need many long urls the best approach
is to add explicit linebreaks around it, so they become 'displayed',
or to switch to raggedright typesetting.

In this particular case,

   \sethyphenatedurlbefore v

in your preamble will help (you can add a few more if you like).
The downside is that it can become unclear where the URL ends.

Best wishes,
Taco
