URL latex linebreak

Question

When a URL is over a line and goes onto a second line, the hyperlink only uses the first line. Is there a way to get around this and yet still have the URL on multiple lines?

Answer 1

You should use the url package:

\usepackage{url} ... \url{http://long.url.com/...     .../stuff} 

and it will break it for you at an appropriate place.

Answer 2

I suggest using package:

\usepackage{xurl}

This works fine for me on overleaf.

Example:

\url{https://www.tudelft.nl/ewi/over-de-faculteit/afdelingen/intelligent-systems/pattern-recognition-bioinformatics/pattern-recognition-laboratory/data-and-software/dd-tools/}
