I'm unable to insert a new line while using \ttfamily. Is there any reason why \ttfamily prevents to do that?

My problem (here's the code):

Let's consider an e-commerce web application whose address is:
\begin{ttfamily} https://website-test.com/scripts/GetEBook.aspx?file=ebook7.pdf \end{ttfamily}

I repeatedly tried to insert the \newline command after the word is in order to get the output:

Let's consider an e-commerce web application whose address is:

https://website-test.com/scripts/GetEBook.aspx?file=ebook7.pdf

But unfortunately it doesn't work...I get no new line.

Also, how do I insert spaces in order to move the text forward?

For example:

\begin{ttfamily} \verb https://website-test.com/scripts/GetEBook.aspx?file= \end{ttfamily}
\begin{ttfamily} \verb ..\..\windows\repair\sam \end{ttfamily}

I'd like the output to be:

https://website-test.com/scripts/GetEBook.aspx?file=
                            ..\..\windows\repair\sam

If \ttfamily doesn't allow to do what I need, is there any other way to solve the problem?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}

\begin{document}
\noindent Let's consider an e-commerce web application whose address is:
\vspace{.5cm}
\par\noindent
\begin{ttfamily}%
https://website-test.com/scripts/GetEBook.aspx?file=ebook7.pdf
\end{ttfamily}
\par\noindent
\begin{ttfamily}%
https://website-test.com/scripts/GetEBook.aspx?file=
\end{ttfamily}
\par\noindent
\begin{ttfamily}%
\hspace{5.2cm}\verb|..\..\windows\repair\sam|
\end{ttfamily}

\end{document}

However, if you are trying to write a url address, it is better to use url package. Here the advantage is, if used with hyperref, you can make the url click-able.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}

\begin{document}
\noindent Let's consider an e-commerce web application whose address
is:\\[.5cm]
\url{https://website-test.com/scripts/GetEBook.aspx?file=ebook7.pdf}
\par\noindent
\url{https://website-test.com/scripts/GetEBook.aspx?file=}\\
\hspace*{5.2cm}\verb|..\..\windows\repair\sam|
\end{document}

  • thanks very much..but if I'm not wrong after the phrase "whose address is:" there's no space..While the solution to the other problem (horizontal space) works perfectly.. – g9999 Dec 08 '12 at 09:49
