Re: texinfo.tex: hyphenation not working
How to enable hyphenation of this word? The hyphenation points are already being considered. I put @loggingall in the source and inspected the resulting paragraph breaking; it has the expected discretionaries for the determining. What's happening is that TeX is trying to minimize badness over the entire paragraph, by making the interword spaces as equal as possible. In this case, the whole thing has to be set far too loosely, due to the vast unbreakable url. So the interword space huge. So the intersentence space after Word_Boundaries., which is 3x the interword space, becomes truly enormous. The last line has normal interword spacing because the hfil glue at the end of the paragraph overwhelms the stretchability between words. I don't see how anything can make this paragraph look decent except either allowing line breaks within the url or rewriting. Just a few more words before the url and it comes out ok. karl
texinfo.tex: hyphenation not working
Hi Karl,
I'm using texinfo.tex from texinfo-4.13 (labeled version 2008-04-18.10).
In my .texi source file I have this paragraph:
This is a more low-level API. The word break property is a property defined
in Unicode Standard Annex #29, section ``Word Boundaries'', see
@url{http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Word_Boundaries}. It is used
for determining the word breaks in a string.
The output from texi2dvi (save in .pdf) is as attached. You can see too much
white space in the third line. It looks like hyphenating the word determining
could solve the issue. But it does not work. After I change the paragraph to
This is a more low-level API. The word break property is a property defined
in Unicode Standard Annex #29, section ``Word Boundaries'', see
@url{http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Word_Boundaries}. It is used
for d...@-ter@-...@-ning the word breaks in a string.
no hyphenation occurs. The output is still the same.
How to enable hyphenation of this word?
