hyphenation exceptions

hyphenation exceptions

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

I don't want to tell TeX about hyphenation exceptions in the text, only
once for all in an environment file. How can I do this with words like
"DNA-Fragmente" or "$\beta$-Verknüpfung" ?
\hyphenation{...} does not seem to work here, and I don't want to write
DNA-Frag\-men\-te nor $\beta$-Ver\-knüp\-fung in the text.

TIA for any help!
Cheers, Peter

Write: $\beta$||Verknüpfung instead. The two bars break the single
word in two seperate ones, and both are hyphenated normally ($\beta$
will not hyphenate of course, but you get the idea, I hope). A few
things can be inbetween the ||'s, for words like

   |(|multi|)|valued

but normally you use just ||. This even makes sure that the compound
hyphen is slightly longer then the auto-inserted one, so that it is
still possible to distinguish that it is a compound word if hyphenation
happens right at the ||.

Cheers, Taco

Hello Taco,
thanks, this is a nice little feature! Is it already documented somewhere,
or should I add something to the wiki?
Cheers, Peter

it's an old feature so there should be docu in several places (at least it's shown here and there)

But a wiki page on hyphenation won't hurt.
\hyphenation, \setuphyphenmark, perhaps \tolerance etc.
