    Dear Alexander,

    I need then to add the soft-hyphens within the FO file? Is there any way
    to add this rule in the hyphenation dictionary? I have tried
    \patterns{
    ...
    1/1
    }
    But this did not seem to take any effect.

    About text-squeezing: I do have hyphenation turned on.

    The situation is as follows: I have a table-cell with an alphanumeric
    text (sometimes long) like "RT54XIOP", but the table-cell could be just
    3 characters wide. So the long alphanumeric is squeezed and unreadable.
    Is that a way to let it break randomly instead of being squeezed?

    Jim

    Hello Jim,

    You can insert Unicode soft hyphen ­ before/after the slash in
    order to make XEP break the word at this positions then hyphenation is
    turned on.

    Are you sure that you have turned hyphenation on? It is off by
    default. With hyphenation turned on XEP will try to break long words
    if possible, it uses "text squeezing" technic as a fallback if there
    was no appropriate hyphenation rule found or if the word just slightly
    longer then available space.

    JQ> Thanks so much
