Hello all,
I've just pulled together some questions of mine and their answers, and written them up into a hyphenation Q&A. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Hyphenation http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definebreakpoint
Unfortunately, there are still some holes in the documentation I wrote. Questions I still have, and which I now pose to the list:
1. how do I protect a single instance of a word against hyphenation? Does ConTeXt, like LaTeX, use \hbox{myfragileword}, or something different?
No, you have to use \hbox too but I think a command with a speaking name would be better.
2. In the command \definebreakpoint, what do these keys do? I can't get them to do anything (MWE below) ** left ** middle ** right
The left, right and middle keys are used in combination with “type=5”. \definebreakpoints[test] \definebreakpoint [test] [?] [type=5,left=L,right=R,middle=M] \setbreakpoints[test] \setuppapersize[A7] \starttext \showframe xxxx?xxxx?xxxx?xxxx?xxxx?xxxx?xxxx?xxxx\par \stoptext
3. Is there perhaps a bug in breakpoints of type 2 and 3. (MWE below.) The key 'type' seems to control where hyphens appear. If 1 is a hyphenation character of type 1, etc, this is the observed behaviour (`/` is the linebreak): ...1...1 / ... ...2... / 2-... % I would expect: ...2... / -2... ...3...-3 / ... % I would expect: ...3...3- / ... ...4...4 / 4... ...... / ... % breakpoint of type 5 just disappears
Type 2 and 3 are used for braces to have line breaks which produce (xxx-) xxx and xxx (-xxx)
If this behaviour is not a bug: is there a way to set a breakpoint X that produces ...X...X- / …?
You have to use type 5 to create a rule for this, do you have a example where this is needed besides the one mentioned in the duden [1] example for a closing bracket. [1] http://www.duden.de/sprachwissen/sprachratgeber/klammern-und-bindestrich-bei... Wolfgang
