Formatting URLs

$

Hi,

 

I'm wondering how to format a long url. I want it to be allowed to break

at the end of the line anywhere within the URL, without adding a hyphen. So:

 

http://www.microsof

t.com

 

would be fine.

 

I've tried creating a character style with the language set to [No

Language] but that doesn't seem to do the trick. If I disable

hyphenation in the paragraph containing the URL, things are better, but

the cost is rather high. I'd rather not disable hyphenation.

 

I'd also prefer not to have to add discretionary breaks of one sort or

another if avoidable.

 

Finally, for my scripting brethren, I found this intriguing property:

 

Text.allowArbitraryHyphenation

Data Type: Boolean

Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model

If true, words unassociated with a hyphenation dictionary can break to

the next line on any character.

 

But applying it to some selected text by running this line of script

 

app.selection[0].allowArbitraryHyphenation = true;

 

doesn't seem to achieve anything at all.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Ariel
