ebook from project: hyphenation lost

ebook from project: hyphenation lost

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Ahoi,

I never managed to get a proper eBook from a project, the content was  
mostly missing, a whole while even \setupbackend[export=yes] led to an  
error.
At least that I don’t get an error any more, I’ll try to debug the  
missing content later.

One bug I can nail down is:
As soon as I add \setupbackend[export=yes] to my environment, all  
hyphens are lost! I.e. hyphenation takes place, but there’s no hyphen  
(an no space left for it).
That doesn’t happen in a single document, so I can’t provide a minimal  
example.

(Yesterday’s beta MkIV on OSX-Intel)

Greetlings,
Hraban

Hello,

I followed Marco's description on tex.sx with quite good results.

http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/43052/8631

He explicitly states: "Hyphenation is also present. ConTeXt inserts soft hyphen (0x00AD) characters where hyphenation is possible, which enables the browser to justify the paragraphs." Although a quick check of my xml file shows, that there is no hyphenation in Safari and there are no 0x00AD characters I can find with a Hex-Editor. Maybe you could try with different viewers/browsers, because if there is an 0x00AD in the source, doesn't the viewer have to take care of the actual hyphenation?

I meant hyphenation in the PDF; I don’t yet care about the XML/XHTML,  
since it’s broken/incomplete anyway. (I need to get the PDF to the  
printer first, then care about the eBook, just ried to include the  
setup from start.)

Don't inspect the XML rendered by the browser. Open the XML file
directly with an editor. I don't know if the soft hyphens survive
being digested by my mail agent, but the source contains 0x00AD
characters:

	The Earth, as a habi­tat for an­i­mal life, is in old age and has
	a fa­tal ill­ness. Sev­eral, in fact. It would be hap­pen­ing
	whether hu­mans had ever evolved or not.

Exactly, and it works fine here, even with an ancient version of
Firefox (4.0)
