Text Formatting ⇒ Website address

[sumesh]

How to put website address in latex. Do I have to give each character such as '_' appropriately so that it does not take it as a math font? Or is there an easy way to do it?
Also, in word it appears automatically with a slightly different font and color, which looks better. One has to manually do it in latex?

Thanks.

Try loading either the url or hyperref package and then you can do, e.g.:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}
\begin{document}
\url{http://www.latex-community.org}
\end{document}

The url package will just allow you to enter it without any special effort, and type-set it with a monospace font. The hyperref pacakge will turn it into a working hyperlink. Typically, it'll put it in a box, but if you want it another color instead, try:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks=true, urlcolor=blue}
\begin{document}
\url{http://www.latex-community.org}
\end{document}
