Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue where, when the width of a block of text is
small, the occasional word sticks out from the otherwise flush right.
I've previously seen an example of this in an image on the
contextgarden wiki, but now can't find it. To reproduce what I mean,
compile this with Mark IV:
\mainlanguage[en]
\usetypescript[palatino]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,11pt]
In this case you don't need \usetypescript.
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setuphead[title][header=empty]
\starttext
\title{Personal statement}
\startcolumns[n=2]
This heavily-hyphenated
jauntily-formatted
flush-left
flush-right
justified-text
paragraph set in
a two-column layout and
subtly-quirky-but-never-offensive
Palatino shouldn't produce
out-of-flush
sticking-out-like-a-sore-thumb
words from the
flush-right.
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
In this example, the string 'sticking-out-like-a-sore-thumb' sticks
out to approx 3mm from the right edge of the paper. In this
situation, I would much prefer that that string is hyphenated, using
one of the hyphens already in the string.
Based on one other test (in which my text was far less hyphenated than
the above), it seems that the hyphenation algorithm refuses to
hyphenate strings of words that are already hyphenated. Is this
true? If so, is it deliberate? And how do I turn it off? (And do
other people agree with me that it's awfully ugly?)
Add \setbreakpoints[compound] to your file.
Wolfgang
