Make text sloppy to avoid hyphenation about latex-packages

[ypid]

Nice idea 👍 I agree that avoiding hyphenating for \doclicenseThis looks better. I am going to use \RaggedRight from ragged2e and \raggedright and make it configurable via package options (probably defaulting to \RaggedRight).

[omarzd]

That's even better :)

I just added support as described above. Can you test it and give me feedback if that is what you had in mind?

I think there is still room for improvement. For example, the minipage environment is currently setup using fixed values. If there was a way to let TeX stretch the boundaries of this environment to help find the optimal width I would assume that this would also allow to eliminate most hyphenations while still typesetting \doclicenseLongText as justified text (assuming that has been set as default for normal text).

[omarzd]

Sure. I'll check it tomorrow. I appreciate your efforts.

Did you find the time? I have no problem in waiting with the release a few days more when you want to give it a try before that.

I'm so sorry @ypid, I've been really busy last week. I haven't even downloaded it. Do I need to download the whole thing or just the sty file?

[ypid]

@omarz1 Don’t worry, take your time 😉 The sty will do. https://github.com/ypid/latex-packages/blob/master/doclicense/doclicense.sty

OK. I just tested it and I'm still getting hyphenation over the word international.
MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[
    type={CC},
    modifier={by-nc-sa},
    version={4.0},
]{doclicense}
\begin{document}
\doclicenseThis
\end{document}

Output:

@omarz1 That was the expected behavior as documented. You can use hyphenation={raggedright} to force TeX not to make hyphenations (which I expected would look worse). But after testing this a bit more, I am not sure if I should enable this feature by default as it might look worse then just hyphenating one word. So I guess either \raggedright or leaving it as is (defaulting to justified text). What do you think and do you have a better solution for this? See also my previous comment.

Lets compare.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[
  hidelinks,
]{hyperref}
\usepackage[
  type={CC},
  modifier={by-nc-sa},
  version={4.0},
  hyphenation={},
  % hyphenation={raggedright},
]{doclicense}
\begin{document}
\doclicenseThis%
\end{document}

---

  % hyphenation={},
  % hyphenation={raggedright},

---

  % hyphenation={},
  hyphenation={raggedright},

[omarzd]

It is excellent that you have that as an option. I say you leave it exactly like in your test. So by default it shouldn't be enabled, just because it might make it look worse.

[ypid]

Thanks for you feedback. So I currently don’t enable this feature by default but I did use RaggedRight for the documentation PDF because it avoids additional white space between words in the first line. I am going to make a release tomorrow.
