Hi,
there’s this rather new mechanism for preventing ligatures:
\startexceptions[de]
au{f-}{f}{ff}(f\zwnj f)asse
au{f-}{f}{ff}(f\zwnj f)asste
\stopexceptions
Two questions:
1. Can you have multiple \startexceptions[de] environments ? Will they accumulate ? (I’m thinking about preparing a general list of exceptions, but of course you will also want individual exceptions…)
2. What is the exact meaning of these four arguments ? {1}{2}{3} is clear, but what about the parentheses ?
you can find out by trying ... the lookup is using the third argument, the replacement is the fourth auffasste => auf\zwnj fasste when not hyphenated (without the () the third one is the replacement) \enabletrackers[hyphenation.applied.visualize] \startexceptions[de] au{f-}{f}{ff}as-ste au{f-}{f}{ff}(f!f)ax-xte \stopexceptions \mainlanguage[de] \dorecurse{100}{#1 auffasste auffaxxte } Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
