(no) hyphenation

(no) hyphenation

[Hraban]

Is there a way to forbide hyphenation in titles?
Perhaps with an option of \setupheads?

Is there an other way than \hbox{} to forbide
hyphenation of one single word (not overall)?
(I thought of \-together, but the - is visible.)

What's the correct way to wrap an title manually
so that it appears unwrapped in page header and table of contents?

\nohyphens

tolerance=verytolerant

align=....

\hbox is ok or {\nohyphens word}

Unfortunately there is not mucn control in tex, especially because some
settings are paragraph wide.

\crlf and \\ can be used to [one for header, the other for toc)

I had align=left already; alone it doesn't suppress hyphenation.

\hbox is bad, because it makes overfull lines
I'll try the other.

I can assure you that there are many thinks tex cannot do. You would be
surprised to see how much time is spent on programming things that seem
simple. Did you know that tex cannot do double columns? You can fake them,
which is what happens. There are also things tex can do that people think
tex cannot do. The metafun manual I'm working on shows some.

I know it must be very difficult to fake multiple-column output,
because so many macropackages have trouble with this feature.  This is
off topic, but I'm curious to know: do the new typesetting projects
like omega and NTS have built-in multicolumn support?

Yes, but that's cheating, because you are finding ways to have TeX and
MetaPost dancing gracefully together!  TeX alone would not be such a
show stopper on the graphics dance floor.

No, omega is tex with foreign language support and NTS-0 is just tex.
Personally I think that much discussion is needed to uncover what is really
needed. Probably more low level support and flow control, accompanied by
high level macros. If that kind of thinsg is there, I can adapt context
quite easy, since I've isolated most code.

Well, since tex came with mf (and fonts) and later mp, i consider them a
happy couple. Although, a real pipeline would be best.

I'm on the edge for it! :-)
