Hi all,
For some non-standard usage I need to enable hyphenation on the first
word of a sentence. I discovered that this is not enabled by default.
(I assume you mean the first word of a _paragraph_, not sentence.)
With some help from Piet van Oostrum I got it working by inserting an
explicit glue, such as \hskip 0pt plus 0pt, before the first word.
The TeXbook mentions this, and suggests a solution in the form of an
\allowhyphens macro (see appendix D).
I believe some LaTeX packages (including Babel?) provide a definition of
\allowhyphens, but it may not be part of the base format.
