Problem with title page when justified in Tufte-Book

Question

I am using Tufte Book template and defined a new paper size (10x7 inches) in .def file. Its working fine. When I use justified option in preamble like:\documentclass[e1paper,symmetric,justified]{tufte-book} it justifies the whole text but the title goes out of the margin of the paper:

but I need to obtain something like this i.e. within margin range:

One solution I have found is to set the text width as:\geometry{textwidth=.55\paperwidth} but it does not look like an organised way and also the text width of whole document decreases. Another option that i think possible is to remove the justified effect from the title page and put newlines manually but still doesn't look systematic. Please suggest a solution with methodology. Thanks

Answer 1

If we redefine the \maketitlepage macro to always set the title page ragged right (instead of justified), it will improve the line wrapping. Add the following to the preamble of your document (between the \documentclass and \begin{document} lines):

\renewcommand{\maketitlepage}{%
  \cleardoublepage
  \begin{fullwidth}%
    \sffamily
    \RaggedRight\sloppy% <-- added this line
    \fontsize{18}{20}\selectfont\par\noindent\textcolor{darkgray}{\allcaps{\thanklessauthor}}%
    \vspace{11.5pc}%
    \fontsize{36}{40}\selectfont\par\noindent\textcolor{darkgray}{\allcaps{\thanklesstitle}}%
    \vfill
    \fontsize{14}{16}\selectfont\par\noindent\allcaps{\thanklesspublisher}%
  \end{fullwidth}%
  \thispagestyle{empty}%
  \clearpage
}
