question about German hyphenation
Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \de\hyphenatedword{Rindfleisch} \de\hyphenatedword{Rindfleischetikettierung} \stoptext I’m not a native speaker, but I think that "Rindfleisch-etikettierung" is right in German. (And I think that "Rindflei-schetikettierung" is wrong.) Are the hyphenation patterns wrong in the cases above, or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Yes it is wrong. Correct hyphenation points are Rind-fleisch-e-ti-ket-tie-rung

That's difficult to do right with patterns, in latex it is isn't correct either. The problem is that two words have been combined. (Rindfleisch and Etikettierung). -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Many thanks for your reply, Ulrike.

I understand that this is an extreme example, so I’m going to add a new hyphenation pattern to my presentation and forget about it. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
