You are right. When I tried to set the double hyphens for Polish (hyphenation of "kong-fu" -> kong- -fu), there was a competition between the base hyphenation of hyphens (it's independent from the hyphenation settings and the hyphenator) and the non-standard hyphenation by OOo's hyphenator. The result was an occasional non-standard hyphenation. It would be fine to forbid the base hyphenation (or word breaking) at hyphens optionally, and to use only hyphenation patterns. > > In Catalan, and other languages, there are words *with* hyphens.

Both, spellchecker and > hyphenator, can check words with hyphens. Handling hyphens and other special characters in words are localisation dependant. Fortunatelly, instead of uncomfortable patches, Breakiterator will be configurable by the locale data (see last comment in http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=64400). See also Hunspell's BREAK option in the manual, if you want to handle arbitrary compound words with hyphens by spell checker. > The first requirement It's already done.

It's very good (Catalan language pack hasn't contained it in http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries Wiki page). Simply add the non-standard rule to the Catalan hyphenation patterns (maybe with position and length: l·1l/l=l,1,3).
