Hi all, Dashes in composed words do not hang when hanging punctuation is used. When a line break falls after `whisky' in this sentence: the repellent whisky|-|craving woman the dash doesn't hang. To make the dash hang I resort to this: the repellent whisky-\allowbreak craving woman Is there a better way? A related question: I want |<| and |>| to allow breaking on either side. \zerowidthspace---\zerowidthspace works when placed directly in the text, but not when used as the definition of `leftsentence' in the `setuplanguage' command. How do I change this behavour? Jeremy
