Thanks for this Chris. My workaround right now is to do the following in .org buffer: #+LaTeX: \url{http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/lp.html} This handles the URLs just as I'd want to. (I do hate typing '#+LaTeX:' though, but that's for me to deal with!) I'm also using org here to make a beamer presentation, and in general it works quite well. I do find myself wishing to resort to latex commands a lot though ... but still I do like the feel of org for presentations. Best wishes, Stephen
