Really? The whole point of using LaTeX is that there would be style files and you never would need to take the time to format anything.
- ketzu 6y agoMy latex documents often have formatting errors: lines extending into the margin, not properly breaking up words on line breaks, text flowing into other text in two column layouts. It takes a significant amount of work to get rid of those for me and I usually do not fix all of them in the end, because some minor ones are more work than they are worth.
- gus_massa 6y agoI agree. I initially use \hfuzz=5pt so only the horrible overflows produce an error and later I reduce it to 1pt and then to .5pt because nobody will notice an error of .5pt.
- ketzu 6y agoFor my latest document I finally made the same decision, just so I can focus on the text instead of the errors! But I haven't thought about keeping it at .5pt, I will probably do that, thank you.
- anoncake 6y agoIf you want to stick to the default formatting. But defaults are inevitably wrong so you have to fight LaTeX.
