Re: Too many hyphens
Hi there,
My document has wrong hypenation. So i decide to make no hypenation.
I find a syntax in to make my document dont have hypenation.
Here is:
%no hypenation
\tolerance=1
\emergencystretch=\maxdimen
\hyphenpenalty=1
\hbadness=1
Hope it helps

microtype will usually lead to fewer hyphens, not more.
Things to consider:
* Make sure the document language is set correctly. That avoids wrong
hyphenations.
* Consider wider margins, fewer columns or a more narrow font. That
lessens the need for hyphenation
Also, you can instruct latex to use a higher penalty for hyphens. That way,
latex will make less hyphens and instead put more space between
words. Use google to find out more about this.

Hyphenation of (Finnish) compound words with hyphens
Hi! In Finnish, there are a lot of situations where one writes a hyphen in the beginning of a word, after a word or between two parts of a compound word even when the word fits completely on a single line. As I undesrtand it, LaTeX doesn't by default hyphenate these word any further than the hyphen I've typed (forced). I can override this feature by adding a double quote () before the hyphen (in LyX, - written in TeX mode instead of a regular hyphen). My problem is that 1) Writing - in TeX mode takes time and effort when compared to writing a single hyphen (which I'm of course rather used to doing), and 2) I never remember to do this and end up with overfull lines and less severe imperfections that I may or may not notice before it's too late. So, is there a way (adding something to the preamble, tweaking a knob somewhere in LyX settings etc) to make LyX substitute all my hyphens (but not minuses in math mode, and I guess also --'s and ---'s) as the TeX mode string - upon conversion to .tex or just simply make LaTeX hyphenate all words the way it ought to, without turning -'s into -'s? Alternatively, is it be possible to redefine the action of the hyphen key so that it would place the TeX mode string and come out of TeX mode while typing normally (and how would I type a regular hyphen in that case)?

Hyphenation of (Finnish) compound words with hyphens
Hi!
In Finnish, there are a lot of situations where one writes a hyphen
in the beginning of a word, after a word or between two parts of a
compound word even when the word fits completely on a single line.
As I undesrtand it, LaTeX doesn't by default hyphenate these word
any further than the hyphen I've typed (forced). I can override this
feature by adding a double quote (") before the hyphen (in LyX, "-
written in TeX mode instead of a regular hyphen).
My problem is that
1) Writing "- in TeX mode takes time and effort when compared to
writing a single hyphen (which I'm of course rather used to doing), and
2) I never remember to do this and end up with overfull lines and less
severe imperfections that I may or may not notice before it's too late.
So, is there a way (adding something to the preamble, tweaking a knob
somewhere in LyX settings etc) to make LyX substitute all my hyphens
(but not minuses in math mode, and I guess also --'s and ---'s) as the
TeX mode string "- upon conversion to .tex or just simply make LaTeX
hyphenate all words the way it ought to, without turning -'s into "-'s?
Alternatively, is it be possible to redefine the action of the hyphen
key so that it would place the TeX mode string and come out of TeX mode
while typing normally (and how would I type a regular hyphen in that
case)?

g'day again, in my 'book' class document i've foudn that Lyx and/or latex insists on putting hyphens in unintelligent places, such as "system-s". can anyone tell me how i can disable all hyphenation ? or is it possible to disable it on an individual paragraph basis at least ? please have a nice day. susie.

I do not know how to strictly disable all hyphenation (surely a solution can be found in good LaTeX books), but inserting the command "\sloppy" in the latex preamble (Pulldown: Layout - LaTex Preamble) will get you rid of virtually all hyphenations.

The cost is a somewhat less restrictive typesetting (more variable space between single words), but it's usually hard to notice by eye. I assume that putting "\sloppy" in red (TeX style) in front of a paragraph will have the same effort for the following text. You can switch back to fuzzy typesetting by specifying "\fuzzy" at any place. Hope this helps.

Hello, In what language are you typesetting your document? I just checked and the only hypenation proposed by TeX in english for `systems' is `sys-tems'. I do not understand how you could get something as `system-s'. JMarc
Re: hyphens
Dirk> Hope this helps. actually, it didnt work completely. i put \sloppy at the beginning of a line and it made "system-s" change to "sys-tems" which is certainly an improvement, but \sloppy at the beginning of another paragraph had no affect at all. i then removed these and put \sloppy in the preamble only, but it had exactly the same effect. that is - it only changed the word "systems" JMarc> In what language are you typesetting your document?

Could you send a short TeX document that produces the problem, along with the .log file? I am curious to know what the problem is... Do you have unusually short lines or long words? JMarc

With this file, I get: fantomas: latex hyphentest.tex This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2c 7.0) MLTeX v2.2 enabled [...] Overfull \hbox (1.29025pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 25--25 []\T1/cmr/bx/n/14.4 Frequency Hopped Spread Spec-trum Sys-tems [...] As you can see the hyphnation for systems is right. On what system are you running? If you use linux, your are probably using teTeX, and the program texconfig allows you to see what hyphenation patterns are loded in the latex format. JMarc

In a private mail she told me:- i'm not sure which lyx it is. i think 1.0.3 (i only got it recently). i'm running it on redhat 6.0 with linux 2.2.5-15 Now isn't that the RH release where RedHat screwed up the TeX install and you have to re-do some of it manually? I do not run RH here so I can't remember all the details, but I'm sure somebody on the list will know what you have to do.. btw, Your test page typesets perfectly here. Here are the relvent lines from my log file. What do you get in your log? This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2) (/home/chris/Desktop/hyphentest.tex LaTeX2e <1997/12/01> patch level 2 Babel and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, nohyphenat ion, loaded.

Overfull \hbox (1.29025pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 25--25 []\T1/cmr/bx/n/14.4 Frequency Hopped Spread Spec-trum Sys-tems [1] (hyphentest.aux) ) (see the transcript file for additional information) Output written on hyphentest.dvi (1 page, 668 bytes). Transcript written on hyphentest.log. The overfull hbox is only a point or so, so it can be ignored safely You could concoct a totally unsatisfactory quick fix by putting a hard end of line ( CTRL-RET ) somewhere in the line, and put a space at the start of the second line. However it would be a _much_ better idea to get the TeX problems sorted out.. You would probably find having `The not so short introduction to LaTeX2e' to hand very useful. Your nearest mirror appears to be:- http://www.cmis.csiro.au/Graham.Williams/TeX/entries/lshort-english.html It's well written and is very informative, and the author answers his e-mail, but he is on holiday until the 26th. > If you use linux, your are probably > using teTeX, and the program texconfig allows you to see what > hyphenation patterns are loded in the latex format. -- Sincerely etc., NAMEChristopher Sawtell - Support Engineer - iOpen Technologies Ltd.
