[Tex/LaTex] Special character in \url

charactersurls

I am stuck with a problem of a url to some website I try to put a link to.

The URL is: http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawo_Lewisa-Mogridge’a
and Latex have an issue with the ’ symbol.
I put it the very easy way:

\url{http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawo_Lewisa-Mogridge’a}

but the result is quite different:

http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawo_Lewisa-Mogridge%5CT1%5Ctextquoteright_a

I obviously use UTF8 but the URL is Polish. Any idea what could be done? Thanks!

Go to wikipedia and copy its URL as such; then add \ before each %:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\url{http://www.wikiwand.com/pl/Prawo_Lewisa-Mogridge\%E2\%80\%99a}
\end{document}

EDIT 1

Instead of \url, you can use \href, in case you want the hyperlink:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
    \href{http://www.wikiwand.com/pl/Prawo_Lewisa-Mogridge\%E2\%80\%99a}
    {http://wikiwand.com/pl/Prawo\_Lewisa-Mogridge\textquoteright{}a}
\end{document}

URL with textquoteright

EDIT 2

On the other hand, according to Wikipedia, this is the right way to cite:

//pl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prawo_Lewisa-Mogridge%E2%80%99a&oldid=39769503

[Tex/LaTex] Long URL in Bibliography section exceeds the bounds of the page

Assuming that you have a file named bibliog.bib with the contents given in your posting, the following MWE (minimum working example) generates a reference with the URL string broken at a hyphen. The key steps are (i) load the url package with the hyphens option and (ii) enable the breaklinks=true option of the hyperref package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[hyphens]{url}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks=true,breaklinks=true}
\setlength\textwidth{4in} % simulate a very narrow line width
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran} % *not* IEEEbib...
\bibliography{bibliog}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] URL in new line Bibtex

The IEEEtran bibtex style has an interesting mechanism for customizing the bibliography. It is documented in IEEEtran_bst_HOWTO.pdf, see IEEEtran bibtex on ctan.

You create a special entry in the bibliography file, of type @IEEEtranBSTCTL, where you can adjust various parameters for the bibliography style. Amongst these, the "text" printed before url fields is controlled by the field CTLname_url_prefix. By default it is "[Online]. Available:".

So one possibility is to change that text to start with the command \par, starting a new paragraph. An alternative would be \linebreak{}, which would attempt to stretch the previous line to the right margin. (The extra braces {} would be needed because af the following square bracket at [Online] in this case, which should not be interpreted as an optional argument.)

Now you need to cite this styling entry before your other citations in the main document via the special command \bstctlcite.

Here is an example:

Sample output

\documentclass{IEEEtran}

\usepackage{url}

\begin{document}
\bstctlcite{IEEEexample:BSTcontrol}

Text with citation~\cite{test}.

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran} 
\bibliography{IEEEabrv,ref}
\end{document}

with ref.bib containing

@IEEEtranBSTCTL{IEEEexample:BSTcontrol,
  CTLname_url_prefix = "\par [Online]. Available:",
}

@InProceedings{test,
  author =   {Chamseddine, A. and Tong Li and Youmin Zhang and
                  Rabbath, C.-A. and Theilliol, D.},
  booktitle =    {American Control Conference (ACC), 2012},
  title =    {Flatness-based trajectory planning for a quadrotor
                  Unmanned Aerial Vehicle test-bed considering
                  actuator and system constraints},
  year =     {June},
  pages =    {920-925},
  issn =     {0743-1619},
  url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6315362&isnumber=6314593}
}
