I just realized that the solution to a problem I've had may lurk
here: I've been using interpuncts U+00B7 inside some words, and
XeTeX won't hyphenate those words. However it's not only that I
want them hyphenated -- I don't want them hyphenated too close
to the interpunct! Never closer than two ordinary letters and
preferably more if possible. When there are many of those words
it gets quite annoying to insert soft hyphens by hand.
You can try with
\newunicodechar{·}{·\nobreak\hspace{0pt}}
Thus the MIDDLE DOT will typeset itself, there will no line break
after it and the \hspace{0pt} allows the following word to be
hyphenated. You can't control the number of letters before the
hyphen, but (Xe)TeX is generally not abundant with hyphens.
Note that you can use the defined character in the second argument
as itself, this is a felicitous consequence of the implementation of
\newunicodechar. :)
Thanks, I'll try it. What about *before* the dot?
Will \newunicodechar{·}{\hspace{0pt}\nobreak·\nobreak\hspace{0pt}}
do the trick? Although most dots appear after prefixes some
don't, and some prefixes are long too.
