Hi Steffen, > Hyphen is good at the end of line when a word is hyphenated, otherwise > it is misplaced.
Not in English. A hyphen may be used to join compound adjectives, as a two-minute Google would show. :-) An ‘American-football player’ isn't necessarily American whereas an ‘American football player’ is, but he may be playing what the Yanks call soccer. It's also used when adding a prefix to a word, as in ‘re-sort’ to re-run sort(1) as ‘resort’ is where one holidays. > En dash would look nice, i could imagine. Those ASCII ‘-’ above should be rendered as a hyphen in nicely typeset output. An en-dash is far too big. Oh, there's another one! -- Cheers, Ralph.
