Friends, I have followed this discussion with great interest, thanks to all participants! One feature which no "word processor" I have seen so far can handle correctly is the Swedish hyphenation of some compund words. I'd love to see this made possible in LaTeX(3). The thing is that - in Swedish - compuond words in which the first part ends in a double consonant when a word by itself and the second part starts with the same letter get this letter in triplicate when hyphenated. Example: "tillaga" (make (food)) is hyphenated "till-laga" since it is made from the words "till" (to) and "laga" (make, prepare (repair)). Other examples are 'missa"mja' -> 'miss-sa"mja' (dissension), "kalluft" -> "kall-luft" (cold air), and "uppassare" -> "upp-passare" (~servant). Correct hyphenation of such words are on my "wish-list" for LaTeX3. :-) groetjes, mats d. -- mats dahlgren Stockholm, Sweden "But I don't know [log in to unmask] how I would live with myself" [log in to unmask] -Suzanne Vega http://www.homenet.se/matsd/ http://www.vega.net/
