Lua-typo

Description

This package tracks common typographic flaws in LuaLaTeX documents, specially widows, orphans, hyphenated words split over two pages, consecutive lines ending with hyphens, paragraphs ending on too short lines, etc.

Documentation

For the impatient: have a look at files demo.tex and demo.pdf to see a short example of how some flaws are highlighted.

Then read the documentation in English (file lua-typo.pdf) or in French (file lua-typo-fr.pdf).

License

Released under the LaTeX Project Public License v1.3c or later See http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt for the details of that license.

Installation

This bundle is meant to be included in most TeX distributions, but if you really need to install it by yourself

1. run "luatex lua-typo.dtx" to strip the comments and create lua-typo.sty, lua-typo.cfg, lua-typo.ltx and lua-typo-fr.ltx;
2. run "lualatex lua-typo.ltx" to get the full documentation (lua-typo.pdf) in English;
3. run "lualatex lua-typo-fr.ltx" to get the French documentation (lua-typo-fr.pdf, without documented code).
