| \hyphenation{...} | |
| {...} | se-ve-ral words cut in-to syl-la-bles with hy-phens |
Description
Indicate how to hyphenate a word. Useful when there are some foreign or unusual words that are used a few times in your text.
Example
-
\setuppapersize[A9] \hyphenation{ac-cord-ance Rein-heits-gebot} A lot of German beer is brewed in accordance with the {\it Reinheitsgebot} laid down in Munich in 1516.
-
Note
If you are also using \startexceptions...\stopexceptions in your document, that must precede \hyphenation.
If you have a word that refuses to hyphenate (e.g. 're-implementation') and \hyphenation{re-im-ple-men-ta-tion} has no effect then try setting \setbreakpoints[compound].
