LaTeX Linebreaking Question

[rgheck]

I need to refer to a book entitled The Semantics/Pragmatics 
Distinction. I'd like to inform LaTeX that it is OK to break after the 
slash, but without a hyphen. How?

\slash, or in LyX: Insert  Special Character  Breakable Slash

I usually use the following redefinition of the slash macro in the preamble:

\def\slash{/\penalty\exhyphenpenalty\hski...@skip}

Contrary to the original (which is defined in the LaTeX kernel), this one 
allows also hyphenations after the slash, as in Semantics/Pragma-tics

HTH,

Insert  Special Chars  Breakable Slash

equivalent to \slash in LaTeX
