LaTeX.org

Thank you frabjous. You are right, url is not necessary and the problem also exists for me (with latex and dvi on debian lenny) when not using multicolumn at all, even though breaklinks is set to TRUE.

So, apparently I'm using the wrong driver for hyperref, since it is actually supposed to work ...

While the following document works perfectly well:


\documentclass[a4paper,twocolumn,11pt,fleqn]{book}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{url}
\begin{document}
\chapter{a}
Some text and then the url \url{https://co-public.lboro.ac.uk/cocwd/HydroTest/Details.html}
should be broken
\end{document ...
