I always use explicit hyphen like this:
Don't second|-|guess me.
If it really is always, you can save a little effort with:
\setuphyphenmark[sign=-]
(This relates to an issue I mentioned earlier: anyone notice how these compound word marks *don't* interact well with font handling/hanging?)
yes, sometimes they are boxed thingies and they don't hang; for this the concept of hanging should be extended (something \hangme {left} {right} {material}); i discussed this long ago with thanh but it didn't (yet) end up in pdftex -) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
