Text Formatting ⇒ Text not abiding by the right margin set with geometry

[pingo]

Hello everyone.

I'm a newbie with Latex and on these forums so please be patient. I have tried Latex just recently because it seems really great for writing reports. Everything is great but I have a problem I can't seem to figure out.

Maybe I don't understand something, but 95% of my document is abiding by the margins I specified with the geometry package. I have attached a sample tex code with a page that has out of margin/border text and also a screenshot of the resulting document.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,openany]{book}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{graphicx,epsfig}
\usepackage[slovene]{babel} 
\usepackage[cp1250]{inputenc}

\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{float}

\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{numbers=none,breaklines=true}

\catcode`\"=13
	\def"#1{\v #1}
	
\usepackage[top=2cm, bottom=3cm, left=2cm, right=2cm]{geometry} 

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyfoot{} 
\fancyhead{} 
\fancyhead[LE, OR]{\thepage}

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.0pt} 
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.0pt}

Hi. It's not a geometry package issue. TeX simply cannot find an optimal place to break the line because of long links so it leaves that decision to the user. Try loading url package (or hyperref) and use \url{} command for links.

Apart from hyperlinks, in case you got some text going into the margin, there are couple of solutions for that:

1. Define custom hyphenation points using \- (e.g. hy\-phen\-a\-ti\-on). Now TeX will hyphenate the word on one of specified places.

2. Use \sloppy command. You may put this command before the paragraph which contains problematic text to allow larger spacing between words. To get things back to "normal", use \fussy command before the next paragraph.

3. You can use \linebreak command to insert manual line breaks. However, this is usually a bad idea, so try to avoid it as much as possible.

Thank you for the help. I used your suggestion with \sloppy and \fussy since I prefer the links not to be broken up and formatted differently than the text.

Now that the problem seems to be solved, please be so kind and mark the topic accordingly as clearly written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting). Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.


Best regards and welcome to the board

I'm sorry. I did try to mark it, but was unable to find this feature anywhere and thought that the moderators did that. By following your link I did find the instructions, thank you.
