Hi,<br><br>I'd like to generate documentation from various XML sources<br>and create a PDF output using TeX (preferably ConTeXt, possibly LaTeX).<br>I need the system to run automatically, without user interaction.<br>
<br>By default, if TeX does not know how to hyphenate words and break lines<br>nicely, it leaves it to the user.<br><br>Could you please advise, how to tell TeX not to be so fussy<br>and rather work reliably -- no overfulls or other errors, even if the result<br>
is not "perfect"? (the "manuscript" is generated, so I don't care <br>how complicated or unreadable it is)<br><br><br>1) Making larger gaps<br>How can I set it up, shall I redefine<br>\tolerance and \emergencystretch ? To what values? What is the scope of the settings?<br>
Is there any other important option?<br><br>2) Hyphenation<br>Is there any way how to fall-back to more aggressive hyphenation rules<br>if the default algorithm fails?<br>If the word is unbreakable, could TeX just tear off the extra letters it and put them to the next line?<br>
(I could theoretically put \discretionary to every word, but I'd prefer TeX to use its own algorithms first)<br><br><br>3) Error reporting<br>Another issue is, that texexec<br>creates very ugly table (\bTABLE) with overlapping text in the cells,<br>
but does not report any problem.<br>Is there any way how to make it fail loudly, so the problems can<br>be detected?<br><br><br><br>I'm using: ConTeXt <br> TeXExec version 6.2.1<br> pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.10-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.7)<br>
Linux i386 Centos-5<br><br>Kind Regards<br><br>James<br><br><br>
