-<h3>Link text doesn&#8217;t break at end line</h3>
-<!-- hyperref overfull link -->
-<p/>When using the <i>hyperref</i> package, you make a block of text
-&#8220;active&#8221; when you define a hyper-link (when the user clicks on
-that text, the reader program will divert to the <em>target</em> of the
-link).
-<p/>The <i>hyperref</i> package uses a <em>driver</em> (in the same way
-as the <i>graphics</i> package does), to determine how to implement
-all that hyper-stuff.
-<p/>If you use the driver for <i>dvips</i> output (presumably you want
-to distill the resulting PostScript), limitations in the way <i>dvips</i>
-deals with the <code>\</code><code>special</code> commands mean that <i>hyperref</i>
-must prevent link anchors from breaking at the end of lines. Other
-drivers (notably those for PDFTeX and for <i>dvipdfm</i>) don&#8217;t
-suffer from this problem.
-<p/>The problem may occur in a number of different circumstances. For a
-couple of them, there are work-arounds:
-<p/>First, if you have an URL which is active (so that clicking on
-it will activate your web browser to &#8220;go to&#8221; the URL). In
-this case <i>hyperref</i> employs the <i>url</i> package to
-split up the URL (as described in
-<a href="FAQ-setURL.html">typesetting URLs</a>), but the
-<i>dvips</i> driver then suppresses the breaks. The way out is
-the <i>breakurl</i> package, which modifies the <code>\</code><code>url</code> command
-to produce several smaller pieces, between each of which a line break
-is permitted. Each group of pieces, that ends up together in one
-line, is converted to a single clickable link.
-<p/>Second, if you have a table of contents, list of figure or tables, or
-the like, <i>hyperref</i> will ordinarily make the titles in the
-table of contents, or captions in the lists, active. If the title or
-caption is long, it will need to break within the table, but the
-<i>dvips</i> driver will prevent that. In this case, load
-<i>hyperref</i> with the option <code>linktocpage</code>, and only
-the page number will be made active.
-<p/>Otherwise, if you have a lengthy piece of text that you want active,
-you have at present no simple solution: you have to rewrite your text,
-or to use a different PDF generation mechanism.
