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

> 100 % automated typesetting
> with 100 % perfect results is impossible

Hans, I dont think so. Manual typesetting is not "100 % perfect", too. Why automated typesetting shouldn't be able
to obtain the same results, like men – some day. Of course that needs much more than just typesetting-rules, e.g. some times
one has to rephrase some sentences to get a good result, but this will be possible for programms in future, too.
For typesetting alorithms it holds the same, like for chess programms in the past, now fulfilled:
They will get to the men-level, and even (far) beyond that.
