Hi

The Knuth-Plass paper is available (scan of print as PDF) at
http://www.eprg.org/G53DOC/pdfs/knuth-plass-breaking.pdf

Here's a bibtex entry, which I found at
https://www.mn.uio.no/ifi/tjenester/it/hjelp/latex/biblatex-guide.pdf

1 @article{Breaklines,
2 author = {Donald E. Knuth and Michael F. Plass},
3 title = {Breaking Paragraphs into Lines},
4 journaltitle = {Software---Practice and Experience},
5 volume = 11,
6 year = 1981,
7 pages = {1119-1184}
8 }

Here's another Bibtex record, found at
https://dblp.org/rec/journals/spe/KnuthP81.html?view=bibtex

@article{DBLP:journals/spe/KnuthP81,
  author       = {Donald E. Knuth and
                  Michael F. Plass},
  title        = {Breaking Paragraphs into Lines},
  journal      = {Softw. Pract. Exp.},
  volume       = {11},
  number       = {11},
  pages        = {1119--1184},
  year         = {1981},
  url          = {https://doi.org/10.1002/spe.4380111102},
  doi          = {10.1002/SPE.4380111102},
  timestamp    = {Thu, 09 Apr 2020 17:14:23 +0200},
  biburl       = {https://dblp.org/rec/journals/spe/KnuthP81.bib},
  bibsource    = {dblp computer science bibliography, https://dblp.org}
}

I hope someone in some way finds this useful. I was delighted about 20
years ago to find the Knuth-Plass paper on the internet, and as I recall
read it several times. I didn't understand it all then, and have not since
revisited it.

with kind regards

Jonathan
