On my last Context project I simply used
\lefthyphenmin 3
to set a new minimum size for the left part of a hyphenated word. The
customer requested it at the last minute (overly picky editor.) It
worked OK on a long and complex document.

Hi Elliot,
you can also prevent hyphenation by switching to undefined languages and
the only hyphenations the one in the hyphenation exception list and in words
written with \-.
\unprotect

You would have to redefine one of the core utility macros to get
this to work. I wrote a small extension for you that does not
need manual intervention. It only hyphenates words that are longer
than 8 characters. Here is the actual code that should go to the
environment file (or the preamble section):
%D A small extension that creates an align type that only hyphenates
%D long words.
\unprotect
\startvariables all
lesshyphenation: lesshyphenation
\stopvariables
\def\lesshyphens
{\lefthyphenmin=4 \righthyphenmin=5 }
\installalign \v!lesshyphenation {\lesshyphens}
%D The next two lines implement 'align=lesshyphenation' as an option
%D for \type{\framed} etc.
\setvalue{\@@ragged@@command\v!lesshyphenation}
{\appendtoks\lesshyphens \to\everyraggedcommand}
\protect
%D done.
And the usage is like so:
\setupalign[lesshyphenation]
... documentation ...
Best wishes, Taco

[NTG-context] Manual hyphenation
Hi, I found that my text, which is set in two columns, looks better with auto-hyphenation disabled using: \setupalign[nothyphenated] There are however several over-hanging words that I will need ConTeXt to hyphenate. I've searched the mailing list and manual and have found no information on how to do this. The info I did find was about how to influence the automatic hyphenation. How do I manually indicate to ConTeXt that a word should be hyphenation. For example if I wanted to manually force a page break or column break I would use \page and \column respectively, but what about hyphenation? At the moment I'm using: ... document-\crlf ation ... to manually create a hyphenation. Is there a better way?
