Hyphenation in German

Hyphenation in German

["H. Özoguz"]

Hi there,

I always use

\mainlanguage [de]

But still, many breakings and stretches are ugly, because context does 
not know how to hyphenate a word. Of course I can add \- to help, but is 
there a way to add a bigger list of german words (like DUDEN has) or 
something like that, not not have to add \- all the time?

Huseyin

You can add your own list with hyphenation patterns with

\startexceptions[de]
Trenn-fuge
Binde-strich
…
\stopexceptions

To break words at “-” and "/” signs add \setbreakpoints[compound] to your document.
