LyX ⇒ Line exceeds Margin

[Hlejeje]

Hi everyone!

This one is a little bit confusing for me. It looks like every few lines text is exceeding margins. The lines sticks out and I don't like it. I did no formatting or similar things, just typing. I am new to LyX and haven't managed to sort this out. Please find attached graphics. What did I wrong?

Hi Hlejeje,

This is a common "problem" (depending on how you view things) in LaTeX (not specific to LyX). I think that adding \sloppy in ERT at the top of your document is a common solution.

If that doesn't work, please post a .lyx file (as minimal as possible).

Hi,

some tips, both working with LaTeX and LyX:

• Use the babel package, specify the right language
• Use T1 font encoding, which is important for hyphenating words with accents
• Define hyphenation for words which could not be hyphenated automatically
• Load the microtype package, which does microtypographic adjustments for better justification
• Sloppy only in emergency, but then better a sloppypar environment (or manual adjustments).

If you have questions regarding one or more of those points, let us know. I'm sure Scott is able to tell LyX ways for those solutions.

you could use \emergencystretch 3em after \begin{document}, worked a treat for me.
