typog – Typographic fine-tuning and micro-typographic enhancements
This package provides macros for micro-typographic enhancements. It covers a variety of topics:
- Precise hyphenation control
- Disable/break ligatures
- Manual italic correction
- Extra kerning for slash and hyphen
- Raising selected characters (e.g. hyphen, en-dash, and em-dash)
- Aligning of the last line of a paragraph
- Filling of the last line of a paragraph
- Word spacing control
- Microtype front-end
- Slightly sloppy paragraphs
- Vertically partially-tied paragraphs
- Breakable displayed equations
- Setspace front-end
- Smooth ragged-right paragraphs
Moreover, typog provides an environment to flag interesting parts of the information deluge typically accumulating in a LaTeX log-file and an associated tool, typog-grep, that selectively retrieves these parts.
