Boxes, glue and penalties support paragraph-wide optimization of line breaks rather than independent greedy choices.
Scientific scope
Boxes, glue and penalties support paragraph-wide optimization of line breaks rather than independent greedy choices. Optimality is relative to the paper's objective and model, not a universal judgment of typography. Only the original opening abstract/byline and bibliographic identity were read; reported quality and efficiency were not independently reproduced.
