    URLs often appear in bibliographies. For an online resource, they should not be omitted. Commented Sep 13, 2010 at 10:02
  • I could have reformatted the text as a bibliography, but in my particular setting this would have been too clunky. Commented Sep 14, 2010 at 7:17

    For some ungainly long URLs one can set up URL-shortened links via tinyurl.com, bit.ly, or other similar sites. Then the printed link can be the readable short link but the underlying link in the PDF can go to the original URL. Commented Sep 26, 2010 at 15:59

    You can also use \href with the text set to the url, using \texttt, and putting the line breaks in explicitly. You gain flexibility at the price of a little more work. Commented Sep 15, 2012 at 0:00

    Instead of \texttt with manual line breaks, you can use the \path command from the url package, as mentioned in this question. This is the only way I was able to get sensible display of URLs in a bibliography on the arXiv. Commented Jul 23, 2013 at 21:14
