LyX ⇒ pdflatex - hyperlink seems to extend too long across the page

[pread]

OS: Kubuntu 18.04
Lyx 2.2.3
Class: Article

I was testing adding a hyperlink in but when it outputs to pdf, it extends way too long across to the right of the page (see pic below). I tried inserting the same hyperlink to the 'text' field but it doesn't make a difference, it doesn't break it down to the next line.

Thanks in advance, let me know if I've missed anything.

For URLs, you should use the url package.

The picture is a link, can you try clicking again or viewing on a different browser?

Pictures should be uploaded as attachments here. I don't like link external stuff, full of advertisements and sometimes malware (those one click hosters). Putting the picture on imgur.com instead of here forces people to load and watch advertisements.

It's easy to attach a picture here. The "Attachments" link is below the text editing field, when writing a post.

Here you can see how nicely it works at the margin by default:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}
\begin{document}
\section{Test}
Some long test to see the justification of lest and right margin.
This is just a test. See:

\end{document}

Click on "Open in Overleaf" above the code, to see it.

Your document does something different. We can find it out, if you make a pdfLaTeX export in LyX and post it here, as attachment.

Thank you so much again, I was using the hyperlink package rather than the URL package. That fixed the issue!
