Re: suppressing hyphenation

["Adam Lindsay" <atl@comp.lancs.ac.uk>]

Hello again, Hans.

I believe Hans Hagen said this around Wed, 15 Jan 2003:

Sigh. 
No. I guessed \nohyp \nohyphen and \nohyphenation, but the obvious eluded
me. Is that anywhere in the normal docs? Sorry.

Anyway, that one gets me most of the way there. However, the text block
is currently inside a \framed, which doesn't understand any of the
variants of this:

>   \setupalign[nothyphenated]

...as a result (as I interpret it), these ragged-left headings overshoot
the right margin, presumably because it would "cost" more than growing
vertically. The normal paragraph penalties shouldn't matter in these titles.

Currently I can work around by hand-breaking the titles before
"problematic" words to achieve this (simulation in fixed-width font):

              Perceptual
       Dissimilarity and
        Verbal Attribute
         Ratings of Oboe
                Tones I:
     an investigation of
tones at different pitch
      and dynamic levels

Instead of the automatic:

 Perceptual Dissimilarity
    and Verbal Attribute
  Ratings of Oboe Tones I:
     an investigation of
tones at different pitch
      and dynamic levels


Thanks for setting me on the right path!
