Re: Hyphenation in Dutch

Thanks a lot! It is nice to see the similarity with the diphtongs. I will certainly contact the maintainers of babel and polyglossia, it is better to solve this once and for all.
Would there be a trick to extend this to 'ë'? This is simpler for authors, otherwise they'll have to remember to write "e ...

Hyphenation in Dutch

Hyphenation in Dutch works perfectly, except for one case: words like "ideeën" (ideas) and "technologieën" (technologies) are normally hyphened as: "idee-en" and "technologie-en". So the umlaut is dropped, in stead of an 'ë' we simply write 'e' after a hyphen.

How can I persuade polyglossia to do ...

Emulation of Accents in incomplete Fonts

Some commercial fonts don't have all Unicode characters, but they provide symbols for accents, so that the user can construct their own accented characters. This requires overlaying two characters and fiddling a bit with the elevation of the accents. How can I do that in XeLaTeX?

In the example ...

memoir | Suppress Page Numbers for long ToC

I would like to suppress page numbers for a long table of contents in the memoir class. The page number of the first ToC page is suppressed, but in the second page it appears again. How can I get rid of it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Force justification on one line of text

Yes it is a paragraph of its own in this simplified example. In the layout I have in mind it is a kind of subtitle for a chapter, with some keywords that almost fill one line, bit I'ld rather have it exactly fill one line.

Force justification on one line of text

I have a line of text in my document that almost fill a printed line. It is nicer to have them completely fill the printed line, so that they align with the rest of the text. How can I force justification?

Any help would be appreciated!

memoir | ToC with Chapter Numbers in Margin

In the table of contents, I have made the chapter numbers right aligned (see the code below). This ensures that there is always the same amount of white between the chapter number and the chapter title. However, I would like to have the chapter numbers in the margin, such that the 'C' of 'Contents ...

Entries in TOC ragged right with page numbers on first line

Thanks a lot, this is really helpful and it already looks much more natural. The only problem remaining is that the titles are still not ragged right (which would be much more elegant). I found a nice solution with the package tocstyle, but is doesn't combine with your titletoc solution for the page ...

So I'ld like to put page number 5 in the example below at the first line, something ...
