by Jim Hefferon 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

This package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should within a day or two make its way to your preferred mirror.

Name of contribution: breakurl 0.03 Author's name: Vilar Camara Neto Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/breakurl Summary description: The breakurl is an extension to hyperref package that allows line-breakable url-like links when compiling via latex + dvips + ps2pdf.
