Sorry, I have just realized that the problem might not be \WORD{} actually, so this one hyphenates:
\define[2]\mycommand{ \startxrow \startxcell o#1 \stopxcell \startxcell \tt\WORD #2 \stopxcell \stopxrow } Whereas these ones don’t: \define[2]\mycommand{ \startxrow \startxcell o#1 \stopxcell \startxcell \tt\WORD #2-3' \stopxcell \stopxrow } \define[2]\mycommand{ \startxrow \startxcell o#1 \stopxcell \startxcell 5'-\tt\WORD #2 \stopxcell \stopxrow } Assuming that this has to do with the presence of “-“ which will be the preferred breakpoint. So, I guess the questions boils down to how to define the second argument of \definebreakpoint[mybreaks][][nright=12,nleft=12,type=1] in this case or how to “deactivate” the default \setbreakpoints[compound]? > On 23 Apr 2020, at 20:46, Benjamin Buchmuller <benjamin.buchmul...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi again, > > I am reading a CSV file into ConTeXt which contains long DNA sequences (>> 40 > characters) to place in xtables.
