How to solve overfull \hbox problems with ULINK through LaTeX


(to add to the title, "when you have specified that you want the paragraphs
to be justified")

Hello, 
	I would be glad to get help on this or an indication that it is a
known issue etc.

	By default, the DocBook stylesheets (v150) when producing LaTeX
output (subdirectoty print/), do not justify the paragraphs. This does not
look nice.
	To make them justified, you need to change %default-quading% in
print/dbparam.dsl and voila. However, for code like:

<ULINK URL="http://www.docbook.org/a/very/long/url/indeed">Long</ULINK>

when it is needed to wrap, it wraps very badly. It is sometimes lost
completely or it wraps but some text is lost after the margins.

The nicest solution to this is that it wraps on the character needed.
The whole URL has different style, is in paranthesis, thus non-hyphenated
wrapping looks good.

Is it a TeX hyphenation problem, or could it be solved with TeX
hyphenation rules?

TIA,
Simos Xenitellis
