Hi, Werner and Barbara, Thanks, Werner, for the explanation and for passing my email along to the correct person.

The division given at http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/backpedal is back-ped-al. But I note that other words in this list lack some syllable divisions presumably for aesthetic reasons, and separating the -al (or -aling or other ending) from backped- seemingly falls into that category. This dictionary entry lists no conjugations, but if we assume that Merriam-Webster's conjugations for "pedal" apply to "backpedal" as well, the full set (including US and UK spellings) would be: back-ped-als back-ped-aled back-ped-alled back-ped-aling back-ped-alling (Merriam-Webster does not supply syllable division for the -ing versions, though there should clearly be another syllable break here. My guess would be "back-ped-al-ing" (as you wrote above) and "back-ped-al-ling".) The other words in which I've noticed hyphenation issues are those rare English words that use diacritics. In groff, I see that "tmac/hyphenex.us" is all ASCII, whereas "tmac/hyphenex.cs" and "tmac/hyphenex.det" specify Latin-* encodings. So the framework does not currently seem to support hyphenation exceptions for English words with letters outside of ASCII. Is this limitation on the groff end or the TeX one? _______________________________________________ bug-groff mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-groff
