TL;DR: This paper presents a framework for a global-fit algorithm for page breaking based on the ideas of Knuth/Plass in such a way that it is directly usable without additional executables with any modern TeX installation and can serve as a test bed for future experiments and extensions in this space.

TL;DR: This paper presents an extension to the general framework for globally optimized pagination that supports automatic placement of floats as part of the optimization and uses a flexible constraint model that allows for the implementation of typical typographic rules that can be weighted against each other to support different application scenarios.

TL;DR: Pagination problems deal with questions around transforming a source text stream into a formatted document by dividing it up into individual columns and pages, including adding auxiliary elements that have some relationship to the source stream data but may allow a certain amount of variation in placement.
