The \hyphenatedword works here too. But it does not work out when the word Amsterdam occurs in the text. See tthe two examples. In the first Amsterdam is not broken according to the \hyphenation{Am-ster-dam}-rule. In the second example the linebreak is forced by the explicit use of Am\-ster\-dam in the source text.

So it doesn't work when occurring in the text.

Has something happened to hyphenation?

The following does not work

\startexceptions[nl]
Am-ster-dam
\stopexceptions

Neither does\hyphenation{Am-ster-dam}

Hi Hans,

using latest beta from 2015.07.01 21:40, both options work for me:

   \language[nl]
   %~ \startexceptions[nl]
   %~ Ams-terd-am
   %~ \stopexceptions
   \hyphenation{Ams-terd-am}
   \starttext
   \hyphenatedword{Amsterdam}
   \stoptext

BTW, I have to change the hyphenation points, since the proposed
exception is the default hyphenation in Dutch.

Or how did you know that the exceptions weren’t working?

I hope it helps,
