Hi all, is this the intended behavior? In mkiv, no line break after an n-dash; in mkii only if it is keyed in as "--", not directly as the utf char. I think lines should be broken at n-dashes. All best Thomas (hope the example isn't maimed by my mail agent) \setuplayout[width=5cm] \enableregime[utf] \showframe \starttext 0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--0--0--1--2--3 0–1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8–9–0–0–1–2–3 \stoptext

intended indeed in the sense that this is the way tex works
\setuplayout[width=5cm] \enableregime[utf]
\showframe
\starttext
0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--0--0--1--2--3
0–1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8–9–0–0–1–2–3
\stoptext
you can play with auto-break ... example from source: % \start \hsize 1.5cm \setbreakpoints[compound] % \installbreakpoint [compound] [-] [nleft=3,nright=3,type=5,left=,right={-},middle={-}] % \installbreakpoint [compound] [(] [nleft=3,nright=3,type=5,left=,right={(-},middle={(}] % \installbreakpoint [compound] [)] [nleft=3,nright=3,type=5,left={-)},right=,middle={)}] % composed-word\par composed(word)\par % \stop % \mainlanguage[czech] % \installbreakpoint [compound] [\number`-] [language=cs,nleft=3,nright=3,type=4] % \setbreakpoints[compound] % \start \hsize 1mm test-test \par \stop % \setbreakpoints[compound] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm, that caused me a lot of troubles especially in bibliographical lists where the ndash is used to separate numbers.

I tried to modify my example: \setuplayout[width=5cm] \mainlanguage[de] \installbreakpoint [compound] [–] [language=de,nleft=2,nright=2,left=,right=-,type=5] \setbreakpoints[compound] \showframe \starttext 0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--0--0--1--2--3 0–1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8–9–0–0–1–2–3 \stoptext but that doesn't change anything.
% \start \hsize 1.5cm \setbreakpoints[compound] % \installbreakpoint [compound] [-] [nleft=3,nright=3,type=5,left=,right={-},middle={-}] % \installbreakpoint [compound] [(] [nleft=3,nright=3,type=5,left=,right={(-},middle={(}] % \installbreakpoint [compound] [)] [nleft=3,nright=3,type=5,left={-)},right=,middle={)}] % composed-word\par composed(word)\par % \stop
% \mainlanguage[czech] % \installbreakpoint [compound] [\number`-] [language=cs,nleft=3,nright=3,type=4] % \setbreakpoints[compound] % \start \hsize 1mm test-test \par \stop

Thanks Wolfgang, this appears to work! Is there any documentation yet on what type=X means and does? I just saw in typo-brk.mkiv "we might eventually stick to only method 5" so that's why I chose it... Thomas
