wrapping a long URL without added spaces
I can wrap a long URL using \hyphenatedurl, but not without getting some unwanted spaces before the numerous “/”s in the URL. I expect that I have missed something elementary, again. Still, my efforts to avoid the spaces have thus far been unsuccessful, so any help would be gratefully received. My current setup is [Campbell] [{http://www.very.long.edu/very/very/long/url/2002dp1.pdf}] [] [{\hyphenatedurl{http://www.very.long.edu/very/very/long/url/ 2002dp1.pdf}}] I also have \setupinteraction[state=start,color=blue,style=rm] Alan

You are not telling us something, because I get no extra spaces after toying around with your description for a while. Please post a minimal file that demonstrates the problem. Greetings, Taco
Hi, Taco! Here is a minimal file that produces the problem. Note that if you comment out \setupinteraction[...], the problem goes away and the URL is wrapped nicely. Thanks for looking at this.

Ok, here is the diagnosis: The \from command calls \dogotospace which in turn calls \processisolatedwords, and at that point, \betweenisolatedwords contains the actual space that is causing the problems. I am not sure how to fix this elegantly, though. Taco
Taco— Many thanks for the diagnosis. That is a good start, but I guess that for now I will have to find another way get long interactive links into my docs. Best, Alan On Apr 12, 2006, at 8:45 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Hans— The problem arises if one has [Campbell] [{http://www.very.long.edu/very/very/long/url/2002dp1.pdf}] [] [{\hyphenatedurl{http://www.very.long.edu/very/very/long/url/ 2002dp1.pdf}}] and then tries \from[Campbell] with \setupinteraction[state=start,] But I see now that I that I can get the desired wrapping using \goto rather than \hyphenatedurl and \from. Two questions • Which is preferred, \useURL or \useurl? • Is there a “\setupgoto”? I need to make the typeface in the printed URL the same as that in the body text. and thanks.

indeed, you do a double hyphenated url then
Two questions
• Which is preferred, \useURL or \useurl?
no prefered
• Is there a “\setupgoto”? I need to make the typeface in the printed URL the same as that in the body text.

Alan,
Have you gotten this to work? I'm trying to get my \hyphenatedurl to be '\tt', but something like '\setupurl[style=tt]' doesn't work for me ...
does \setupurl[style=\tt] work

Joh— All I needed was \setupurl[style=normal] to get urls printed in the bodyfont. Have you tried \setupurl[style=teletype] or \setupurl[style=type]? By the way, I am not using \hypehnatedurl any more: I define \useURL [label] [{insert url here}] [] [{insert url here}] in the preamble and then use \goto{\url[label]}[url(label)] at the desired point in the source file to get proper wrapping and hyphenation.
