question for taco: how exactly does tex treat language changes mid paragraph?
That would take me too much time to write down :-), but I can tell you that this \installlanguage didn't work because \lefthyphenmin and \righthyphenmin are 'global' during the course of the paragraph, only the final value is used (like for most paragraph parameters). What will work, is setting the TeX primitive \language to a value that does not have associated patterns (-1 is a possibility, but usually 255 also works). In the next bit of context code, there will be no hyphenation: \starttext \normallanguage -1 \hsize = 0pt \input zapf \language[en] \stoptext (babel has a language definition 'nohyph', precisely for this) Hope this helps, Taco
