There are two different accommodations:
1. 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.

jpg to eps within powerdot
Bonjour, I’ve been using the powerdot class in LyX for years without a glitch, including in my presentations pictures with a large diversity of format (including jpg, png, pdf, …). Please note that powerdot can NOT be used with pdflatex, and MUST go through ps2pdf (i.e., with a dvi step somewhere). I’m running into difficulties after a recent update: * Mac OSX 10.14.2 (Mojave) * LyX 2.3.2 * TeXLive-2018 * ImageMagick and many tools installed with MacPort. I include some jpeg images into my presentation, and now get the message (note: translated from French by myself): « no information to convert jpg files to eps - define a converter in preferences » . After a second try, I sometime do not get this message, but a LaTeX error: « LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in ... » I did add a converter in preferences: « convert $$o $$i », without success. If I convert « by hand » in a shell (convert toto.jpg toto.eps), then use the eps file in LyX everything is fine. What am I missing? Thank you. Jacques
