french hyphenation after l-apostrophe doesn't work

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

when, in a french project, the line ends with e.g. l'int\'{e}r^{e}t
then context doesn't hyphenate "l'interet" and the line gets stretched.
(If I wouldn't have the l-apostroph construction then the word is hyphenated "in-teret", so its hyphenation is know to TeX.)

But for I have a lot of this "l-apostroph" constructions at line endings in my document it is impossible to type individually \- at the best breaking points (here after "in-"). I need to have a global option that re-activates the hyphenation even if the word starts with l-apostroph.

When I typeset the apostrophe like a slash: l|'|int\'{e}r^{e}t
then the line gets broken, but after "l'" and I was told this is wrong in french.

So what else could be done to automatically break int\'{e}r^{e}t again but *not* after l' ?


Thank you for any help,

Steffen

Hello Steffen,
perhaps you just need a font with "real" accented characters, such as
Latin-Modern. This works for me:

\enableregime[il1]
\usetypescript[modern][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
\starttext
\dorecurse{50}{l'intérêt }
\stoptext

Cheers, Peter
