Hello
Is there a way in ConTeXt to allow line-breaking by default after an en
or em dash (-- or ---)? The equivalent of \XeTeXdashbreakstate=1
I couldn't see anything after trying various searches.
Just try:
\starttext
\hsize1mm
test-test\par
test---test\par
test---test\par
test+test\par
\hccode`+=`+
test+test\par
\hccode`+=`-
test+test\par
{great|-|\nohyphens grandfather}\par
\stoptext
Conversely, is there a way of inhibiting ConTeXt from hyphenating an
already hyphenated expression (great-grandfather etc.)? That is usually
seen as a desperate last resort (which the user can invoke manually with
\-).
