I am using \filename to type-set filenames. Some of these are very long
(greater than 30 characters) and overhang
the right hand margin, sometimes even disappearing off the edge of the
page. The first line break is just before the
full stop. There are usually plenty of spaces in the names. Can I get
ConTeXt to put a line-break into filenames?
Thanks,
Richard

That works brilliantly (I've no idea why through). Thanks Hans

Yes, I tried that, no difference. I presume that \hyphenatedfilename is
for use with filenames that already have hyphens in them?
Mine don't, but I want them to split. Perhaps splitting filenames is
frowned upon - if so, what is the best way to put them into documents?
Or perhaps I should use shorter filenames, but why should I compromise
readability? One example is "Transfer functions for PID and KF
controllers.xmcd"
Any ideas or comments?
Richard

Why do you use the language trick and not just \nohyphens?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 397 bytes --]
Hello,
Can anyone suggest a good way of type-setting filenames in ConTeXt? They
are usually long with few spaces and so often overhang the right-hand
margin and even fall off the edge of the page. They also often include
backslashes and underscores which I have to manually change - very
tedious.
Is there, for example, a command which handles some or all of my problems?
Thanks
Richard
