ConTeXt has troubles hyphenating chemical names, which in organic chemistry can be funny things such as N-(4-n-alkoxybenzylidene)-4’-alkylaniline. The names can get much worse... The rules for hyphenating in chemistry are well defined. Without putting specific hyphenating hints into the names themselves, I do not know how to go about adding these rules into ConTeXt. Of course, they can differ slightly by language, but the system is pretty much the same. Does anyone know how to deal with this? Maybe we need special rules that get applied within \chemical{}? Alan

sure, we can make a rule set, given that these names are somehow tagged .. just come up with the rules Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
