hyphenation problem using |-| in composed words -- bug?

hyphenation problem using |-| in composed words -- bug?

[Oliver Heins]

Hi,

when using |-| in a word as a non exclusive dash, this produces wrong
hyphenation.

For example, the word »longer-word-to-be-hyphenated« should be
hyphenated e.g. like this:

longer-
word-
to-
be-
hy-
phen-
ated

but actually it is hyphenated like this:

longer
-word
-to
-be
-hy-
phen-
ated

Using || instead of |-| works like expected, so using it in combination
with \setuphyphenmark[sign=normal] could be considered a workaround.
Sadly, that produces the same bad result. :-(

Here's a minimal example:

%\setuphyphenmark[sign=normal]

\starttext

\hsize 1em

longer|-|word|-|to|-|be|-|hyphenated

longer||word||to||be||hyphenated

\stoptext



TIA,
 olli

This is a workaround:

\definetextmodediscretionary {-}
  {\prewordbreak\discretionary{\hbox{-}}{}{\hbox{-}}\prewordbreak}

However, \setuphyphenmark[sign=normal] still does not work correctly.

Verified. Same problems here, in both mkii and mkiv.

Best wishes,
