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
