lc code of `

lc code of `

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

Currently, we have

\lccode`\'=`\'

set for all languages, but it seems that some languages get problems 
with hyphenation.

\de \hyphenatedword{Works''}
\nl \hyphenatedword{Works''}
\uk \hyphenatedword{Works''}
\en \hyphenatedword{Works''}

\de \hyphenatedword{Works}
\nl \hyphenatedword{Works}
\uk \hyphenatedword{Works}
\en \hyphenatedword{Works}

i did set the code because some languages needed it, but now i get puzzled:

we can do:

\startlanguagespecifics[nl,cz,sk,fr]
  \lccode`\'=`\'
\stoplanguagespecifics

but i wonder of this is the right approach.

Hans

What was it needed for? There's no escape possible from the rule

   if (\lccode != 0) { word_character = true}

I was asking because the initial request was probably related to 
\uppercase/\lowercase, and if so, then it is probably better
to write explicitly iterating \CAP macros for that, than to mess with
the \lccodes. 

I, for one, consider 100% reliable hyphenation more important than 
100% correct case folding.

so i should drop the \lccode`\'=`\'

If nobody disagrees with me, I must be right :-)
