I see what you mean. I'm trying to find references for my ancient teachings of the principles of where to hyphenate words. I haven't found much on the choice of possible hyphenation points (the things built in at the lowest level of TeX's generally fantastic algorithm). My recollection was that one possible insertion point was always allowed when the word was formed of compound words (like news and paper or hand and over). But I do note that Knuth himself here remarks that TeX does indeed sometimes get it wrong: <a href="https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb04-2/tb08knut.pdf">https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb04-2/tb08knut.pdf</a> so the ability to correct it would indeed be a useful feature.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
