Dan,

One possible solution for the particular example you posted (see below) is to allow line breaks at commas in inline maths. The solution I use for this is:

\mathchardef\breakingcomma\mathcode`\,

{\catcode`,=\active

\gdef,{\breakingcomma\discretionary{}{}{}}

}


\newcommand{\mathlist}[1]{$\mathcode`\,=\string"8000 #1$}


which I took from the answer by egreg to the following stackexchange question:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/19094/allowing-line-break-at-in-inline-math-mode-breaks-citations


You could use this as "Let the tuple $(\mathlist{X, Y, Z, A, B, C, +, x, -, !, \#})$" in your example.


There are some other solutions in that post and the other it links to.


All my best,
Conrad

I have a rather long document involving mathematics that sometimes has
the "Overfull \hbox" problem when I use inline mathematical scripts.
Before I go hacking up the document with newline and \raggedright
commands, is there any more elegant solution currently available?
Below (see also attachment) is an example:

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{
   xetex,centering,twoside,noheadfoot,nomarginpar,
   paper=a4paper,margin=20mm,
   showframe
   }
\setmainfont{texgyrepagella-regular.otf}
\setmathfont{xits-math.otf}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\begin{document}%
\thispagestyle{empty}%
%\sloppy
%\raggedright
Theorem 1.1 (The Theorem That Has This Rather Long Title)
Let the tuple $(X, Y, Z, A, B, C, +, x, -, !, \#)$
be some useful mathematical structure.
Then, \ldots
\end{document}%

Many thanks in advance,
Dan
