LaTeX forum ⇒ Text Formatting ⇒ Filling Text not generated with Language Specifications Topic is solved

[xjrecina00]

This works (generate lorem ipsum paragraphs):

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
 
\usepackage{lipsum} % just to generate filler text
 
\begin{document}
 
\chapter{Some Chapter}
\lipsum[1-4]
 
\chapter{Neeext}
\lipsum[1-4]
 
\end{document}

This does not work. Why? I only add (specify) czech for babel.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[czech]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
 
\usepackage{lipsum} % just to generate filler text
 
\begin{document}
 
\chapter{Some Chapter}
\lipsum[1-4]
 
\chapter{Neeext}
\lipsum[1-4]
 
\end{document}

[nlct]

For some language settings, babel makes the hyphen character active. You need to switch that off via \shorthandoff{-} in this type of situation:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[czech]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
 
\usepackage{lipsum} % just to generate filler text
 
\begin{document}
\shorthandoff{-}
 
\chapter{Some Chapter}
\lipsum[1-4]
 
\chapter{Neeext}
\lipsum[1-4]
 
\end{document}
