[Tex/LaTex] Line goes out of paragraph, when I give hyperlink

line-breakingurls

I'm trying to hyperlink \url{http://brollace.blogspot.de/2012/03/havok-tutorial-content-tools-part-1.html.}, but when I compile it, the line goes out of the boundary of paragraph.
Can anybody knows why?

Why do you have a . at the end of the url \url{http://brollace.blogspot.de/2012/03/havok-tutorial-content-tools-part-1.html.} ?

EDIT_ Sometimes, when LaTeX cannot break lines nicely, it leaves them unadjusted. You can control that behavior putting \sloppy at the beginnig of your document

see How to avoid using \sloppy document-wide to fix overfull \hbox problems? and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4146606/wrap-url-ignores-margin-in-bibtex-using-pdflatex

[Tex/LaTex] paragraph style – how to force line break? \paragraph{} \\ – make paragraph a header

You didn't say anything about your document class. So, here comes an example for article that uses the titlesec package.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[raggedright]{titlesec}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\titleformat{\paragraph}[hang]{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\theparagraph}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\paragraph}{0pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{0.5em}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument
\end{document}

You can easily adjust the space before and after the heading according to your needs. The package manual has the details. The package also masters page styles so that it might not be necessary to load fancyhdr.

Note that the blindtext package is only used for creating dummy text thus not part of the solution.

[Tex/LaTex] URL with tilde character

You should use the hyperref package (which uses url internally but improves on it). It will not only format the link but also place a real hyperlink into the PDF. With url alone the link is only normal text, but is probably recognized as hyperlink by your PDF viewer, but with the wrong code for ~. LaTeX tends to substitute the code of these special characters depending on the font you use instead of taking the ASCII code.

This works fine with Acrobat Reader:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\url{http://lyle.smu.edu/~tspell/jaws}
\end{document}

A funny thing is that %18 is the ASCII code for "CAN (cancel)", which doesn't make much sense and \char"18 isn't the tilde in the tt font. I can't follow how this specific code was produced.
