I am having a \url problem (with TeXShop/LaTeX) that is driving me
crazy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My problem can be illustrated with two parboxes, each containing the
same URL.
\parbox{6.0in}{\url{
http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv
}}
\parbox{5.0in}{\url{
http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv
}}
The first parbox typesets the URL on one line. Clicking on this line
opens a browser and displays the desired URL.
The second parbox typesets the URL on two lines:
http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/
price_distrib.csv
Both lines are colored to indicate an active link, and the cursor
changes to a pointing finger when it is over either line. However,
when you hold the cursor over the first line, you see that it is
pointing at the directory
http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/
which (on clicking the line) will not allow itself to be listed. The
second line
price_distrib.csv
points nowhere and goes nowhere, even though appears to be a link.
I can't figure out what the problem is here. There are broken URLs in
my bibliography that work fine, but the 5-inch parbox one doesn't work
at all.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Vic
