Hello,

LuaTeX snapshot-0.20.2-2007121721:

This works (in PlainTeX):

\prehyphenchar`\-

This results in an error:

\prehyphenchar=`\-

! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> = l.29 \prehyphenchar= `\-

A bug? Am I misunderstanding something?

You are missing something (the manual is unclear). The correct syntax is: \prehyphenchar<language number><optional eq><char number> Best wishes, Taco
