Linebreaker – Prevent overflow boxes with LuaLaTeX
This package tries to prevent overflow lines in paragraphs or boxes. It changes LuaTeX’s \linebreak callback and re-typesets the paragraph with increased values of \tolerance and \emergencystretch until the overflow no longer happens. If that doesn’t help, it chooses the solution with the lowest badness.
