Is there something better than \sloppy?

Post by lyxrocks »

even though putting \sloppy in the LaTex Preamble fixes some of the problems that I had:

1, it enables pages to begin with a math formula.
2, it doesn't allow long inline formulas to "protrude".

at the same time, it makes some lines look ugly.

is there an alternative command?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

\tolerance 1414
\hbadness 1414
\emergencystretch 1.5em
\hfuzz 0.3pt
