memoir and \justlastraggedleft, list of URLs
Marc Baudoin
I'm writing a manual that has a list of URLs at the end of each
section so that the students can get more information by visiting
them.
I'd like it to be typeset like this:
http://short-urls-are-flush-left/
http://longer-urls-have-their-first-line-flush-left/and/the/
rest/flush/right/
I'm using:
- the brilliant memoir class, the leftbar environment so that the
list of URLs can easily be seen and the \justlastraggedleft
command to deal with long URLs
- the asparablank environment from the paralist package to
typeset the list
- the url package so that URLs can be broken
The \justlastraggedleft command works fine except it flushes
right the short URLs (less than one line):
http://short-urls-are-flush-left/
http://longer-urls-have-their-first-line-flush-left/and/the/
rest/flush/right/
Which is obviously not what I want.
How can I solve my problem?
Generally speaking, how do you typeset list of URLs (because
maybe I'm doing things wrong)?
Below is a short document showing my problem.
Thanks for your help.

Yoiur demonstration leaves something to the imagination.

I think that is a bad choice because the lines before the last get
justified to both margins, which is bad for a line full of url.
Better to use \raggedrightthenleft instead. It matches your
requirement
"longer-urls-have-their-first-line-flush-left/and/the/rest/flush/
right".
> \item \url{http://www.this-is-a-much-longer.com/with/tons/of/stuff/that/makes/it...}
\raggedrightthenleft has to put something in \everypar, which is also
used
in lists, so \item will ruin the operation of \raggedrightthenleft.
Do you really
need to use a list?

Your newsreader seems to have removed my carriage returns, that's
why.
In a few words, I want a list of URLs, one on each line. If a
long URL has to be broken because it's larger than \textwidth,
I'd like for the end of it to be flush right.

Right.

No but it seemed structurally appropriate.
I've just tried the (simpler) code below, which works. Any other
idea?
Anyway, thanks for your help!
