Hello
Is there a way in ConTeXt to allow line-breaking by default after an en or em dash (-- or ---)? The equivalent of \XeTeXdashbreakstate=1
I couldn't see anything after trying various searches.
Just try: \starttext \hsize1mm test-test\par test---test\par test---test\par test+test\par \hccode`+=`+ test+test\par \hccode`+=`- test+test\par {great|-|\nohyphens grandfather}\par \stoptext
Conversely, is there a way of inhibiting ConTeXt from hyphenating an already hyphenated expression (great-grandfather etc.)? That is usually seen as a desperate last resort (which the user can invoke manually with \-).
Best wishes
