[hlx] \xlink and descresionary breaks

[Louis T. <lt...@gm...>]

Hi,

In my printed version of hyprlatex documents I want to place the entire URL
of an external link.  This works fine.  I just can't get it to hyphenate. T=
o
make matters a bit more complicated I will frequently use various
substitutions in the \xlink command.   For example:

\newcommand{\htmld}{\\http://uml.lt.tucson.az.us/hl2.2006-spring/}
....
If you are not using \systemA{} you can get the file at:
\xlink{\htmld{}files/flatpara.text}{files/flatpara.text}.
The file is a paragraph from the book \cit{Flatland} by Edwin A. Abbott.

I have tried many variations of this:
\newcommand{\htmld}{\\http://\-uml.lt.tucson.az.us/\-hl2.2006-spring/}
with no success so far.

I have been unable to pass my hyphenation requests through the \xlink
command. What I end up doing is having to put line breaks in prior to the
URLs.  In the printed document this can look quite bad. Does anyone know ho=
w
to get this to work?

Thanks in advance.  - Louis
