Subject: Too many word-breaks in consecutive lines
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:02:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5167CD93.6090307@mmnetz.de> (raw)

Hi (sorry for many questions today :)),

with German you often have the problem, that words are long (most often 
much longer than english words). So ConTeXt have to break them. But 
there is a typographical rule: "Do not break words at the end of lines 
in more than three consecutive lines."

So four (or more) breaks each ofter another (line), is forbidden and 
considered as ugly! By default, ConTeXt does this in many cases, 
specially with DIN A5 and long words. And I have to manually fix this in 
every case, that is normal and ok.
Is there a way to highlight these attempts of more than three 
consecutive breaks in one paragraph? Would be easier to find, and to 
not-oversee.

Future suggestion: Perfectly ConTeXt would try to avoid those breaks, 
but I suspect that would end in ungly kerning and unnormal gaps between 
words, correct?

Huseyin
