LaTeX \sloppy and \fussy line breaking

In my thesis, I use words like "visualization-related" a lot. Such words should not be further hyphenated, since it may look awkward. Example : manual hyphenation Words break awkwardly like visualization-rel - ated or like visualiza - tion-related. The hyphenation for line breaking will interfere with the initial hyphenation and impair readability. In LaTeX, the default line breaking mode is \fussy. This mode tries to present the words on each line very condensed, not allowing for the space between two words becoming too large. However, this causes problems with hyphenated words that should not be hyphenated any further. If the entire word would be moved to the next line, then the inter-word space on the current line would suddenly be too large. LaTeX then decides not to hyphenate AND not to break, but instead let the word flow over. Example : default \fussy mode All words break normally but may overflow like visualizat ion- related or visualization-rel ated. The ove...

Copy & paste tabular data to tables in LyX

As it can be cumbersome to manually transfer data from an external source to a table in LyX, here is trick to speed up the process. Let's assume the data is stored comma-separated in a text file with the following content. 1920,1080,48,24,40,45,1920,1080,0% 1920,1080,46,23,41,46,1886,1058,3.8% 1920,1080,45,23,42,46,1890,1058,3.6% 1920,1080,44,22,43,49,1892,1078,1.6% 1920,1080,43,22,44,49,1892,1078,1.6% 1920,1080,42,21,45,51,1890,1071,2.4% 1920,1080,41,21,46,51,1886,1071,2.6% 1920,1080,40,20,48,54,1920,1080,0.0% Then copy&pasting (CMD+SHIFT+V or CTRL+SHIFT+V) this text into a table in LyX will only fill the first table column. However, if the data were TAB-separated as follows, 1920 1080 48 24 40 45 1920 1080 0% 1920 1080 46 23 41 46 1886 1058 3.8% 1920 1080 45 23 42 46 1890 1058 3.6% 1920 1080 44 22 43 49 1892 1078 1.6% 1920 1080 43 22 44 49 1892 1078 1.6% 1920 1080 42 21 45 51 1890 1071 2.4% 1920 1080 41 21 46 51 1886 1071 2.6% 1920 1080 40 20 48 54 1920 1080 0.0% then L...

Cleaning up SVG `transform="translate(dx,dy)"` in Inkscape

I use SVGs in Inkscape and some JavaScript magic to create all my slides for talks and presentations and show them using Firefox or Chrome. Therefore, in Inkscape I draw rectangles on a separate layer to mark the view of each slides. All content goes to the second layer. My JavaScript -- actually it is some awesome CoffeeScript -- then uses the transform attribute to control the current view and the flow of the slides. However, sometimes Inkscape already sets an transform on some of the rectangles, e.g., when copying slides from previous presentations. These transforms interfere with my script. Here is the trick how to remove them: Group the rectangles (Ctrl+G). Ungroup the group (Ctrl+Shift+G). Inkscape will then recompute the x and y attributes, incorporating the translate(dx,dy) defined in the transform attribute. Afterwards, the transform will then be removed. PS: If I find the time to cleanup my presentation script, I will open-source it on Github.
