Hi, looking for a solution to avoid short snippets in a paragraph's last line I found lefthyphenmin/righthyphenmin. But as this affects all hyphenations it is not useful. Is there also a command that only cares for the last line of a paragraph, controlling that this last line should consist of e.g. at least 5 characters (all in all, or at least righthyphenmin 4 characters)?

I think you mean \parfillskip (page 100 in the TeX Book) Grep for it in the 'base', to see where it is used and what values are assigned in your context. Peter

Yes, it seems to be what I was looking for. At least on my testfiles the result is very nice. Now comes debugging / checking what negative side-effects "\parfillskip 0pt plus .6\hsize" can have in real life (footnotes, tables etc.) ... Any traps known? Steffen

Sorry, no (experience). So you better keep an eye on it :)
