hyphenation exceptions

hyphenation exceptions

[Werner LEMBERG]

Folks,


what is the proper way to mark hyphenation exceptions?  Let's assume
the language is US-English, and I want to register the word
'Mesopotamia', which the standard TeX patterns hyphenate incorrectly,
AFAIK.  For LaTeX, using a recent Babel version, a proper entry would
be

  \babelhyphenation[USenglish]{Mes-o-po-ta-mia}

to be put into the *preamble* of the generated output LaTeX file.

However, hyphenation exception entries belong into the document, not
into the LaTeX template, for obvious reasons.  How can I make pandoc
transfer stuff from the input document to the output LaTeX preamble?

Note that it probably makes sense to provide a generic hyphenation
exception mechanism so that other output formats can be supported
also.

Have you tried header-includes?

e.g.

- header-includes:
     - \babelhyphenation[USenglish]{Mes-o-po-ta-mia}

Thanks!  That works.  Here the correct syntax, just for reference.

There is a package called hyphenex <https://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyphenex>
which does contain such exceptions. Maybe you should suggest an update to
its maintainers.

You've probably missed that I'm listed as one of the `hyphenex'
maintainers :-)

I've already informed Barbara and Karl about this issue.
