How to enforce line-break / page border in "masters/doctoral thesis" template?

Post by SebSnares »

Hello

First of all when I want to ge the list of forum topics related to the "masters/doctoral thesis" I get the following error:
" No route found for "GET /phpbb_topic_tagging.php" "

So sorry if my question was already answered elsewhere, I couldn't find that thread by now, please post the link here :)

So how do I "enforce" proper line breaks in the "masters/doctoral thesis" template? I am using the overleaf online editor to write and some of the text lines and subsection titles and bibliography entries seem to escape the page borders set of the 'block' format (especially when long phrases are used). Is there a global fix to enforce line breaks in that case?

examples (censored for copyright reasons):
red line illustrates actual page border/break of all other lines of page
in text:
Image
in subsection title:
Image
in bibliography:
Image

I figured that I could use the "\break" command in every case I find to spread the words of the line properly while moving the overhanging word to the next line. But that seems kind of an impractical solution as it would keep me searching for overhanging words every now and than...

//Edit: Okay the Bilbiography can be forced to match the page border by using \sloppy but that's also not optimal as it tents to sometime break small words like "London" to "Lon-don" instead of moving them to the next line and spreading the rest more apart to fit the borders

What I'm really looking for is an auto spread of words and moving long words (or urls and such) to the next line on a global level (like \break seems to do on a local level) - Example from Word block text:
Image or at least break IN the url not in other text.

*I still dont know to do for the "in text" and "title" case at all.

Using the template is irrelevant here. What you face are general problems that every LaTeX user has. Please read some introductory material.

If you need further help, please split the issues and prepare matching minimal working examples and open a new thread for each one.

Defining new breakpoints for urls in the bibliogrphy is quite easy if you are usig biblatex. Biblatex would be the template default. But mybe you changed it. Also, it is important to know which version of the template you are using.

PS: The forum software is updated at the moment and tagging is currently not available.
