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.
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
\-).
\setbreakpoints[compound]
\starttext
\hsize\emwidth
old-fashioned
old+fashioned
old-\unhyphenated{fashioned}
\stoptext
