Dear colleagues,
I'm pleased to announce that the following paper has been accepted at
DocEng 2024, the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering, to be held this
August in San Jose.
* Similarity Problems in Paragraph Justification: An Extension to the
Knuth-Plass Algorithm
** In high quality typography, consecutive lines beginning or ending
with the same word or sequence of characters is considered a defect. We
have implemented an extension to TeX's paragraph justification algorithm
which handles this problem. Experimentation shows that getting rid of
similarities is both worth addressing and achievable. Our extension
automates the detection and avoidance of similarities while leaving the
ultimate decision to the professional typographer, thanks to a new
adjustable cursor. The extension is simple and lightweight, making it a
useful addition to production engines.
