[xep-support] Hyphenation tip

[Michael Sulyaev]

Hello Jan,

If you have language="en" you are using the hyphen/ukhyphen.tex rules 
file which is for English (UK). See xep.xml, the last section on 
languages. This file allows "ht-tp".

You may wish to force US English rules by specifying language="en-US": 
"http" does not get hyphenated.

You may also forbid hyphenation of "http" in UK rules:

$ diff -ubBr hyphen/ukhyphen.tex.orig hyphen/ukhyphen.tex
--- hyphen/ukhyphen.tex.orig	2009-05-06 19:13:46.000000000 +0400
+++ hyphen/ukhyphen.tex	2009-05-06 19:14:07.000000000 +0400
@@ -8576,4 +8576,5 @@
  ma-nu-scripts
  re-ci-pro-city
  through-out
-some-thing}
+some-thing
+http}


Obviously, you may disable hyphenation for the URLs in the source FO:

For example <fo:inline 
hyphenate="false">http://www.server3.com</fo:inline> can be named 
<fo:inline hyphenate="false">http://www.whatever.com</fo:inline>

or, as Jirka Kosek and Dave Pawson say, add a keep-together="always".

Regards,
Michael Sulyaev
