Apologies for the double email.

I raised just after sending the previous one that using the ‘proper’ utf-8 hyphen character (0x2010) instead of 0x002d solves the issue. I'd be interested to hear if someone has an easier-to-type solution, though.

Hello,

Is there a way to preserve hyphenated words in the html export? When exporting a document with ConTeXt, hyphens in the middle of words seem to be replaced by soft hyphens, which are not displayed by my web browser.

Minimal example:

\setupbackend[export=yes] \starttext co-worker \stoptext

The resulting .html file contains: <div> co­worker</div>

(There is apparently a soft hyphen between ‘co’ and ‘worker’. The pdf seems to render correctly.)

Cheers, Florent

If you use *\setupbackend[export=yes,hyphen=no]* you will get a hard hyphen (hex 2D) where you show a soft hyphen (hex AD). Whether that addresses your larger document I cannot say, but it solves the problem for your example. See https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupexport. -- Rik
