Hi,

yet another strange thing: «ap-plic-»????

See code below, Steffen

Hi, another weird thing: In this example I use \startexceptions to set hyphenation exceptions:

``` \mainlanguage[en] \startexceptions[en] appli-ca​ble obli-gated \stopexceptions

\setuplayout[width=1cm]

\starttext \currentmainlanguage

\currentlanguage

\hyphenatedword{applicable}

\hyphenatedword{obligated}

obligated \stoptext ```

What am I missing?

Best, Denis

When I edit this example with Vim, I see, in part:

\startexceptions[en] appli-ca<200b>ble obli-gated \stopexceptions

\startexceptions[de] appli-ca<200b>ble obli-gated \stopexceptions

\startexceptions[it] appli-ca<200b>ble obli-gated \stopexceptions

So it seems that the answer remains the same from when Denis posted a similar question a few months ago.

indeed, i just wasted an hour figuring out that there is some non letter in there; so there will never be a match (exception words get simplified to a key that is used in the lookup .. a \zwj or \zwnj can be used if needed but in the meantime there is a more sophisticated mechanism Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
