Subject: Hyphenation peculiarity.
Date: Tue, 28 Dec 2004 17:54:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200412281754.33849.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)


I noted that context seems to be most reluctant to hyphenate. So I ran a test 
file through plain tex, pdftex and Context and checked the results. Context 
hyphenated less than the other two.

The manual does not say much about hyphenation. I am using a fresh TeXLive 
install.

It seems to act as if the hyphenation dictionary weren't here. If I put in a 
discretionary hyphen  Context will use it.
