[NTG-context] Re: hyphenation question

I hoped therefore to find a generic solution! yours sincerely dr.

it helps to read a bit about how tex handles spaces esp after control
sequences and when passing stuff in arguments ... then sit down and
ponder possible solutions for a while ...

[NTG-context] hyphenation question
In the 18th century documents I am transcribing often words are abbreviated as for example voorschreeve becoming voors: In the transcription it is usual to write this as voors[chreeve] indicating to the reader how the abbreviation was interpreted. The problem then arises with hyphenation, because voors[chreeve] in the example will not be hyphenated as if the []'s were absent. Which is what I would like to happen. Question: is it possible to realize this and how? yours sincerely dr.
