German hyphenation
German hyphenation
NWP hyphenates an end-of-line German word in an unwanted place. How do I correct and make it remember the hyphenation I want?

Re: German hyphenation
You can use a soft hyphen, available through the Special Character menu.
That said, NWP relies on Apple's internal hyphenation engine, which only has English hyphenation patterns. I asked for a multilingual hyphenation engine, both to Apple and Nisus. I am confident that the latter will be more successful than the former.
By the way, there was a long thread time ago on soft hyphen and hyphenation (http://www.nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... &hilit=shy). You might retrieve it.
Cheers, Henry.

Re: German hyphenation
There is a macro by Martin which I use to correct faulty hyphenation in German:
$character = Text.newWithCodepoint(0x00AD)
Type Text $character
Just install it as described in the "Nisus Pro Macro" section: http://nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2097
I've attached a key command to it and haven't had any problems with correcting German hyphenation ever since.
Only catch is: It works only in OS 10.5.x.
