The term "hypenation dictionary" is quite common, but I see your point. What would be a better name for the property? hyphenation-pattern hypenation-list hypenation-resource or, perhaps: hyphenation­pattern :-) > >> [In TeX], hyphenation can [also] be indicated locally. > >> This is needed in order to hyphenate words like > >> rec-ord/re-cord and is the only level that deals with > >> spelling changes. > > > This can be done by supplying your own dictionary through the > > 'hyphenate-dictionary' property. > > You seem to have misinterpreted the intended meaning of > `locally'.

However, it can be done through CSS as well: Dont's wait for <span style="hypenation-dictionary: rec-ord.dic">record</span> companies, <span style="hypenation-dictionary: re-cord.dic">record</span> yourself. -h&kon Håkon Wium Lie CTO °þe®ª [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.opera.com/howcome
