Paul, I should have looked in TLC2 before writing to the list. For the record, adding the option [hyphens] to the \usepackage command allows the URL to be split at hyphens in the string. This solved the problem for me. Thanks, Rich

I've not before used breakurl and have always used the default margins. Strange it doesn't want to work here. Well, off to CTAN to find breakurl.sty. Thanks, Rich

url{} package not working
Perhaps because it's the end of the day I cannot see why a URL embedded in
the text is not typeset in the monospace font and split across lines.
Running lyx-1.6.8 on Slackware-13.1.
The preamble contains \usepackage{url}. The text has an ERT box with
\url{http://www}. When I preview the output the text is typeset in the
article body typeface and extends well into the right margin.
Other documents here have the same preamble and specify the URLs the same
way. I do not see why this instance is fighting me.
Ideas?
Rich
