soft hyphen macro

Post by the-user »

Just now I downloaded the soft hyphen macro -- a thing I've been longing for for a long time (maybe it has already been there for a long time; I'm new here).

It breaks long words OK, but I don't see a hyphen appear. I've tried a few different fonts, all with the same effect. Am I doing something wrong?

Make sure you have enabled hyphenation via the menu View > Allow Hyphenation. That should cause the soft hyphen to become visible when it is used to wrap a line.

Just to flog a dead horse (and beat my own drum 8) ) replace the Nisus repository macro with the macro I provided a few comments ago in this thread. That macro will check and make sure you have hyphenation on.
