<?tptxtoowide>
Description
When inline Maths are wide enough, it’s possible to have a situation when the resulting Maths is too wide to ever fit, even if it’s the only thing on the line. <?tptxtoowide> provides options by which handle this situation.
* 
The behavior defined by <?tptxtoowide> is only triggered where the online Maths is the first item an a line and still does not fit.
Syntax
<?tptxtoowide num:n>
num
0
Maths will continue to overflow the column until it finds a wider column, if possible
1
Scale the whole of the inline Maths proportionally so that it fits. This will also change the height of the Maths.
This can be a legitimate way of scaling inline graphics so that they use their native size if possible, but are scaled down to the measure if they are too wide.
Another use of the command is to cope with error conditions that may lockup the formatting process. Setting an associated <?tptxtoowideerr> command will ensure that a message is added to the formatting error log when <?tptxtoowide> is triggered, so that these cases can be identified and corrected.
2
Clip the inline Maths, rather than scale it; so that it fits. The vertical size will be unaffected.
3
Permit the inline Maths to overhang the column and exceed the normal boundaries. The vertical size will be unaffected.
Additional information
When sizing behavior is defined via <?tptxtoowide>, hyphens in surrounding text will be disabled automatically to ensure that the Maths does indeed fit.
