Text Formatting ⇒ Hyphenation Troubles

[naclador]

Greetings to the community!

I am a newbie to LaTeX, so please forgive me should i ask stupid questions.

I am using MikTeX 2.8 and TeXniccenter to create my dissertation in chemistry. I am writing in German, using the babel package with ngerman option. Now I get into trouble with the hyphenation of words containing greek characters and hyphens, like "\beta-Jonon-Endgruppe". I would like it to be hyphenated like "\beta-Io-non-End-grup-pe", but unfortunately LaTeX refuses to hyphenate the word alltogether, and it does not accept my \hyphenation command.

Is there anyone out there who can help me out of this?

Best,

Naclador

No big deal [1].

Code: Select all

$\beta$"=Jonon"=Endgruppe

[1] LaTeX-Wörterbuch: Silbentrennung


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks a lot, Thorsten, easy enough to find if one knows where to look!

It's also documented in the babel manual (Section 23: The German language – new orthography, p. 84ff), but not so clear.
