Re: [NTG-context] Hyphentation/Linebreak after x characters inside \WORD?

23 Apr 2020

      Sorry, I have just realized that the problem might not be \WORD{} actually, so this one hyphenates:

\define[2]\mycommand{
	\startxrow
	\startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
	\startxcell \tt\WORD #2 \stopxcell
	\stopxrow
	}

Whereas these ones don’t: 

\define[2]\mycommand{
	\startxrow
	\startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
	\startxcell \tt\WORD #2-3' \stopxcell
	\stopxrow
	}

\define[2]\mycommand{
	\startxrow
	\startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
	\startxcell 5'-\tt\WORD #2 \stopxcell
	\stopxrow
	}

Assuming that this has to do with the presence of “-“ which will be the preferred breakpoint. So, I guess the questions boils down to how to define the second argument of

\definebreakpoint[mybreaks][][nright=12,nleft=12,type=1]

in this case or how to “deactivate” the default \setbreakpoints[compound]?

Hi again,
I am reading a CSV file into ConTeXt which contains long DNA sequences (>> 40 characters) to place in xtables. So far, this works fine. However, I need to uppercase the entries and need to \tt them. When I do this inside \WORD however, they don’t hyphenate any more.
I’m using:
\defineseparatedlist
  [mylist]
  [
  separator={,}, quotechar={"},
  command=\mycommand
  ]
\define[2]\mycommand{
  \startxrow
  \startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
  \startxcell 5’-{\tt\WORD{#2}}-3' \stopxcell
  \stopxrow
  }
Since I don’t have access to each entry, I cant place hyphenation marks directly. Is there a way to tell ConTeXt to hyphenate after say, 12 characters?
Thanks for your help.
