Hi Peter

...

===== Original Message From Peter ===== I'm typesetting a text with some citations in nineteenth-century Dutch and French, in which I don't want hyphenation. How can this be done?

I now have two macros: \def\stophyph{\pretolerance=15000\tolerance=400} \def\starthyph{\pretolerance=200\tolerance=400}

At the beginning of every citation I enter \stophyph{} and at the end \starthyph{}. But the cited words are still hyphenated.

Here is a better approach:

================================================== \setupoutput[pdftex]%

\installlanguage[NH][lefthyphenmin=100,righthyphenmin=100]

\starttext

\language[NH]

\input knuth

\language[en]

\input knuth

\stoptext

==================================================

Even better, take the definition of [nl] in type-ger.tex and add it to \installlanguage[NH].

Hans: the following would be nice to have:

\setuplanguage[<name>][hyphenation=off]

i must think this over, since normally when a language has no patterns it's off anyway \definelanguage[mine][default=en,patterns=] not sure if that works as expected

...

Putting single words in a mbox also doesn't help... ;(

mbox?!? Dost thou blaspheme!?! :-)

-) how about using \setupalign[nothyphenated] (or \nohyphens) btw, i recently saw things like there was this guy called \hbox {Idris} ... (another 10 times this hbox) where of course the best solution is \hyphenation{Idris} at the top of your document, i.e. add such names to the dictionary but do not provide ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
