On this page of the wiki there is an example for wrapping long words,
like long hexadecimal strings:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Wrapping
This example is buggy because it deletes one character at the point that
it is wrapped.
Anyone have a solution?
Many thanks for your report, Hugo.
I use this code from time to time and I totally overlooked this.
Have you checked all options that the sample contains?
Hans,

I have just checked that these line breakings loose a character in all
options.

The next sample displays the issue clearly:

  \startluacode

        --local shared = {
        --    start  = 1,
        --    length = 1,
        --    left   = false,
        --    right  = false,
        --}

       local shared = {
           start  = 1,
           length = 1,
           before = utf.char(0xB7),
           after  = nil,
           left   = false,
           right  = false,
       }

       -- languages.hyphenators.traditional.installmethod("sha",
       --     function(dictionary,word,n)
       --         local t = { }
       --         for i=1,#word do
       --             t[i] = shared
       --         end
       --         return t
       --     end
       -- )

       -- or more efficient when used often:

       -- local all = { }
       -- for i=1,512 do
       --     all[i] = shared
       -- end
       -- languages.hyphenators.traditional.installmethod("sha",
       --     function(dictionary,word,n)
       --         return all
       --     end
       -- )

       -- or more obscure:

       -- local all = table.setmetatableindex({ }, function(t,k)
       --     t[k] = shared
       --     return shared
       -- end)
       --
       -- languages.hyphenators.traditional.installmethod("sha",
       --     function(dictionary,word,n)
       --         return all
       --     end
       -- )

       -- or just (lua is fast enough anyway)

       local all = table.setmetatableindex({ }, function(t,k)
           return shared
       end)

       languages.hyphenators.traditional.installmethod("sha",
           function(dictionary,word,n)
               return all
           end
       )
  \stopluacode

  \definehyphenationfeatures
     [sha]
     [characters=all,
      alternative=sha]

   \unexpanded\def\sha#1%
     {\begingroup
      \sethyphenationfeatures[sha]%
      #1%
      \endgroup}

   \setuphyphenation[method=traditional]
%
%  \unexpanded\def\sha#1%
%     {\begingroup
%      \sethyphenationfeatures[sha]%
%      \setuphyphenation[method=traditional]%
%      #1%
%      \endgroup}

  \starttext
  \hyphenatedword{\sha{8b2f3c087046c3943ace0dc4f958ef2138e58a51b40e%

  \stoptext

Are we missing something or is this a bug?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
