non-standard still breaks as non-stan- dard the stan- protruding from the text-block, whilst the rest of the line is compressed as much as possible... Maybe context thinks, if it breaks at the hyphen you can't tell that there was meant to be a hyphen, so to be clear it uses two...? I can't make much sense of it.

Is there a way to tell context to break the word at the hyphen that already exists?

\hyphenation{bla-bla-bla}

Hans Before \starttext after \starttext, \hyphenation{non-standard} is resisting... (see attached) Setting \hyphenation{non-standard}, I'm surprised it breaks like \hyphenation{non-stan\-dard}...

You need to make sure that a language is set and patterns are loaded.

\mainlanguage[en] \hyphenation{bla-bla}

...

Thank you, Severin

P.S.: Is there a way to break words without adding a hyphen, e.g. beginner/intermediate/advanced breaking into

beginner/ intermediate/advanced?
