Subject: What's the proper way to typeset a slash in a text flow?
Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2010 00:34:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fwtsaui5.fsf@universe.krase.net> (raw)
See the following minimal example (I'm not trying to typeset urls or
filesystem paths in this way, just regular text):
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\def\myslash{/\penalty-5000}
\starttext
\type{/}
{\bfd Love/Hate/Play/Love/Hate/Play/Love/Hate/Play/Love/Hate/Play}
\type{\slash}
{\bfd Love\slash Hate\slash Play\slash Love\slash
Hate\slash Play\slash Love\slash Hate\slash Play\slash Love\slash
Hate\slash Play}
\type{\textslash}
{\bfd Love\textslash Hate\textslash Play\textslash Love\textslash
Hate\textslash Play\textslash Love\textslash Hate\textslash
Play\textslash Love\textslash Hate\textslash Play}
\type{\myslash}
{\bfd Love\myslash Hate\myslash Play\myslash Love\myslash Hate\myslash
Play\myslash Love\myslash Hate\myslash Play\myslash Love\myslash
Hate\myslash Play}
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Neither one of the first three solutions above give me the right thing,
because the line won't break at /. What am I missing?
A workaround seems to be
\def\myslash{/\penalty-5000}
and then using \myslash instead of \slash, but I'm pretty sure I'm not
doing this right.
Thanks in advance
