- use pdftex and the microtype package and hanging punctuation?
When I do this on A4 text, I go from 1-3 hyphens per page
to about 3 pages per hyphen. :-) Useful indeed.
I am reading the Micro-Typography with PDFTeX (microtype.dvi file) but it
only mentions "hanging punctuation" one time in the second paragraph: "A
simplified employment of margin kerning is hanging punctuation." (And I
didn't see anywhere else in the document.)
What does the "hanging punctuation" mean? A punctuation extending into
margin?
Yes.
Does anything special have to be done for "hanging punctuation"? Or just
\usepackage{microtype} does the "hanging punctuation"?
No, I think that's enough.
If you're PDF'ing for the web, remember to turn off the font-stretching bit.
To turn off the font-stretching bit, is it enough the following
\usepackage[stretch=0]{microtype}
\usepackage[expansion=false]{microtype}
And you can try:
\usepackage[expansion=false, spacing=true, kerning=true]{microtype}
and try those independently. The point of turning off expansion is that,
as the manual says somewhere, leaving it on increases file size
dramatically.
