Hi Hans, I have to admit that \startexceptions is new to me, thank you. nell{a}{}{a'}opera very nicely solves the full word substitution but I do not know how to figure out the hyphenatation case: Using the exception "nel{-}{l'}{l'}opera" it will change also words with articles where hyphenation is supressed (below). Is there any way how to fix it? Tomáš \starttext \startexceptions % nell{a}{}{a'}opera nel{-}{l'}{l'}opera \stopexceptions \start \hsize 10cm nell'opera \par l'operaio \par \stop \start \hsize 01mm nell'opera \par l'operaio \par \stop \stoptext
There's a fourh way ...
\starttext
\startexceptions nell{a}{}{a'}opera \stopexceptions
