Hyphentation/Linebreak after x characters inside \WORD?

Hyphentation/Linebreak after x characters inside \WORD?

[Benjamin Buchmuller]

Hi again,

I am reading a CSV file into ConTeXt which contains long DNA sequences (>> 40 characters) to place in xtables. So far, this works fine. However, I need to uppercase the entries and need to \tt them. When I do this inside \WORD however, they don’t hyphenate any more.

I’m using:

\defineseparatedlist
	[mylist]
	[
	separator={,}, quotechar={"},
	command=\mycommand
	]

\define[2]\mycommand{
	\startxrow
	\startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
	\startxcell 5’-{\tt\WORD{#2}}-3' \stopxcell
	\stopxrow
	}

Since I don’t have access to each entry, I cant place hyphenation marks directly. Is there a way to tell ConTeXt to hyphenate after say, 12 characters?

Thanks for your help.


Benjamin

Sorry, I have just realized that the problem might not be \WORD{} actually, so this one hyphenates:

\define[2]\mycommand{
	\startxrow
	\startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
	\startxcell \tt\WORD #2 \stopxcell
	\stopxrow
	}

Whereas these ones don’t: 


\define[2]\mycommand{
	\startxrow
	\startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
	\startxcell \tt\WORD #2-3' \stopxcell
	\stopxrow
	}

\define[2]\mycommand{
	\startxrow
	\startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
	\startxcell 5'-\tt\WORD #2 \stopxcell
	\stopxrow
	}

Assuming that this has to do with the presence of “-“ which will be the preferred breakpoint. So, I guess the questions boils down to how to define the second argument of

\definebreakpoint[mybreaks][][nright=12,nleft=12,type=1]

in this case or how to “deactivate” the default \setbreakpoints[compound]?

The following works for me:

    \define[2]\mycommanda{
         \startxrow
         \startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
         \startxcell \tt\WORD #2 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         }

    \define[2]\mycommandb{
         \startxrow
         \startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
         \startxcell \tt\WORD #2-3' \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         }

    \define[2]\mycommandc{
         \startxrow
         \startxcell o#1 \stopxcell
         \startxcell 5'-\tt\WORD #2 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         }

    \definebreakpoint[mybreaks][][nright=12,nleft=12,type=1]
    \setbreakpoints[mybreaks]

    \starttext

    \setupxtable[width=5cm]
    \startxtablex
    \mycommanda{A}{lsfkgjfkgshgkhigewhgajkdkfkalhfdklahfkhaakfakfh}
    \mycommandb{B}{lsfkgjfkgshgkhigewhgajkdkfkalhfdklahfkhaakfakfh}
    \mycommandc{C}{lsfkgjfkgshgkhigewhgajkdkfkalhfdklahfkhaakfakfh}
    \stopxtable

    \stoptext

Producing:

Indeed, it produces the same when nleft and nright are both set to 1 or 
12 or 100, but not when setbreakpoints is removed.

If you are trying to do something else, please provide an MWE.
